806Praveen Co. manufactures and markets a number of rope products. Management is considering the future of Product XT, a special rope for hang gliding, that has not been as profitable as planned. Since Product XT is manufactured and marketed independently of the other products, its total costs can be precisely measured. Next year’s plans call for a $200 selling price per 100 yards of XT rope. Its fixed costs for the year are expected to be $270,000, up to a maximum capacity of 700,000 yards of rope. Forecasted variable costs are $140 per 100 yards of XT rope.RequiredEstimate Product XT’s break-even point in terms of (a) sales units and (b) sales dollars.Check (1a) Break-even sales, 4,500 unitsPrepare a contribution margin income statement showing sales, variable costs, and fixed costs for Product XT at the break-even point.
SBD Phone Company sells its waterproof phone case for $90 per unit. Fixed costs total $162,000, andvariable costs are $36 per unit. How will the break-even point in units change in response to each of thefollowing independent changes in selling price per unit, variable cost per unit, or total fixed costs? Use Ifor increase and D for decrease. (It is not necessary to compute new break-even points.) Variable costs to $67 per unit
Richie Chandra is the advertising manager for Skechers brand. She is currently working on a major promotional campaign. Her ideas include the installation of a new lighting system and increased display space that will add $24,000 in fixed costs to the $270,000 currently spent. In addition, Richie is proposing that a 5% price decrease ($40 to $38) will produce a 20% increase in sales volume (20,000 to 24,000). Variable costs will remain at $24 per pair of shoes. Management is impressed with Richie’s ideas but concerned about the effects that these changes will have on the break-even point and the margin of safety. Instructions a) Compute the current break-even point in units, and compare it to the break-even point in units if Richie’s ideas are used. b) Compute the margin of safety ratio for current operation and after Richie’s changes is introduced. c) Prepare a CVP income statement for current operations and after Richie’s changes are introduced. d) Would you make the changes…
Carlyle Lighting Products produces two different types of lamps: a floor lamp and a desk lamp. Floor lamps sell for $30 and desk lamps sell for $20. The projected income statement for the upcoming year follows: Sales $600,000 Less: Variable costs 400,000 Contribution margin 200,000 Less: Fixed costs 150,000 Operating income $50,000 The owner of Carlyle’s estimates that 60 percent of the sales revenues will be produced by floor lamps and the remaining 40 percent by desk lamps.

Your Company is considering the addition of a new product to its current product lines. The expected cost and revenue data for the new product are as follows: Annual sales in units 3,000 Selling price per unit $309 Variable costs per unit: Production $130 Selling $50 Traceable annual fixed costs: Production $51,000 Selling $75,000 Allocated annual fixed cost $54,000 If the new product is added to the existing product line, then sales of existing products will decline.
