Problem: The Flashtic Co. sells a special type of flashlights which does not use dry-cell batteries but operates with 1. "sun energy". The product would incur a total variable cost of P18 per unit to manufacture and sell. The plant has a capacity of 20,000 units per month at P180,000 fixed costs and expenses, excluding its monthly interest charges of P45,000. This product has a contribution margin of 55%. At present the plant is operating at 80% of its capacity. Management plans to increase its current sales by 20% next year. a) Using the contribution margin approach, prepare an income statement at present operation. b) and in Peso Sales? Show proof. c) profit of P150,000, how many units to sell? d) What is the break even point in units, If management plans to generate a At present operation, what is the operating leverage? e) What is the % increase in profit if current sales will increase by 20% next year? Robee, Inc. Is trying to decide how best to finance a proposed P10 million capital investment. 2. Under plan A, the project will be financed by entirely with long term 9% bonds. The firm currently has no debt or preferred stock. Under plan B, Common stock will be sold to net the firm P20 per share; presently one million shares are outstanding. The corporate tax is 40%. a) Calculate the indifference level of EBIT associated with the two financing plans (an EBIT that both financing plans have the same EPS). Show the computations showing both financing plans have same EPS. b) If EBIT expected to be P3.10 million, which plan will result in higher EPS? Show computation.
Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis
Cost Volume Profit (CVP) analysis is a cost accounting method that analyses the effect of fluctuating cost and volume on the operating profit. Also known as break-even analysis, CVP determines the break-even point for varying volumes of sales and cost structures. This information helps the managers make economic decisions on a short-term basis. CVP analysis is based on many assumptions. Sales price, variable costs, and fixed costs per unit are assumed to be constant. The analysis also assumes that all units produced are sold and costs get impacted due to changes in activities. All costs incurred by the company like administrative, manufacturing, and selling costs are identified as either fixed or variable.
Marginal Costing
Marginal cost is defined as the change in the total cost which takes place when one additional unit of a product is manufactured. The marginal cost is influenced only by the variations which generally occur in the variable costs because the fixed costs remain the same irrespective of the output produced. The concept of marginal cost is used for product pricing when the customers want the lowest possible price for a certain number of orders. There is no accounting entry for marginal cost and it is only used by the management for taking effective decisions.
