Chapter 7, Problem 42P
The European Division of Worldwide Reference Corporation produces a pocket dictionary containing popular phrases in six European languages. Annual budget data for the coming year follow. Projected sales are 100,000 books.
Required:
- 1. Calculate the break-even point in units and in sales dollars.
- 2. If the European Division is subject to an income-tax rate of 40 percent, compute the number of units the company would have to sell to earn an after-tax profit of $90,000.
- 3. If fixed costs increased $31,500 with no other cost or revenue factor changing, compute the firm’s break-even sales in units.
- 4. Prepare a profit-volume graph for the European Division.
- 5. Due to an unstable political situation in the country in which the European Division is located, management believes the country may split into two independent nations. If this happens, the tax rate could rise to 50 percent. Assuming all other data as in the original problem, how many pocket dictionaries must be sold to earn $90,000 after taxes?
- 6. Build a spreadsheet: Construct an Excel spreadsheet to solve requirements (1), (2), (3), and (5) above. Show how the solution will change if the following information changes: sales amounted to $1,100,000 and fixed manufacturing
overhead was $110,000.

Variable Cost P3,800 per unit
Fixed Overhead P6,080,000
Total Assets P12,500,000
Toy King has instructed the Tokyo Division to budget a rate of return on total assets (before taxes) of 20%.
The Tokyo Division is considering adjustments in the budget to reach the desired 20% rate of return on total assets:
a. How many units must be sold to obtain the desired return if no other part of the budget is changed?
b. Suppose sales cannot be increased beyond 3,400 units. How much must total assets be reduced to obtain the desired return? Assume that for every P1,000 decrease in total assets, fixed costs decrease by P100.
