and customer service) 2.50

Total variable cost per bowl $13.75

Fixed costs

Marketing, distribution and customer service 110,000Total fixed costs $135,000

Selling price $25

Expected sales (in units) 20,000

Income tax rate 40%

Required

a. Calculate the projected net income for 2008.

b. Calculate the 2008 margin of safety percentage.

c. Calculate the 2008 operating leverage.

d. Mr. Jensen has set the gross revenue target for 2009 at a level of $550,000 (or 22,000 bowls). He

believes an additional marketing cost of $16,875 for advertising in 2009, with all other costs remain-

ing the same, will be necessary to attain the revenue target.

Calculate the 2009 net income if the additional $16,875 is spent and the revenue target is met.

e. Calculate the breakeven point in revenues for 2009 if the additional $16,875 is spent for advertising.

f. If the additional $16,875 is spent at a sales level of 22,000 units, calculate the required 2009 selling

price, for 2009 net income to equal 2008 net income.

g. At a sales level of 22,000 units, what maximum amount can be spent on advertising if a 2009 net

income of $60,000 is desired?

Assignment 5

The following data pertaining to product Uderz are given.

Standard cost of a unit Uderz is as follows:

Direct materials 4.00 sqy x $2.50 = $10

Direct labor 0.10 dlh x $50 = 5

Variable overhead 0.50 mhr x $40 = 20

Fixed overhead 0.50 mhr x $90 = 45

Standard unit cost $80

Budgeted production was 45,800 units of Uderz. The fixed overhead rate is based on a practical capacity of 24,000

machine hours (mhrs).

Actual results: actual production was 46,600 units Uderz, 205,000 square yards (sqy) of materials were purchased for

$492,000, used 187,800 sqy of materials, for 4,600 direct labor hours $239,200 was paid, actual fixed overhead was

$2,175,000, the machines worked 23,150 hours. Variable overhead spending variance was $50,900 Unfavorable.

Variances must be isolated as early in time as possible.

Sales volume was 45,900 units Uderz, there was no beginning inventory of units Uderz. Work in process inventory is

negligible and may be ignored.

NI = 60% x {20,000 x ($25 - $13.75) - $135,000}

= 60% x ($225,000 $135,000) = 60% x $90,000 = $54,000

4b. (3p)

Bep = $135,000 / ($25 - $13.75) = 12,000 units

MOS = (20,000 12,000) / 20,000

MOS =40%

4c. (2p)

OL = CM / OI = $225,000 / $90,000

OL =2.50

4d. (2p)

NI = 60% x {22,000 x ($25 - $13.75) ($135,000 + $16,875)}

NI = 60% x ($247,500 - $151,875) = 60% x $95,625 = $57,375

[OR: $54,000 (see 4a) + 60% x (22,000 20,000) x $11.25 - $16,875 = $57,375 ]

4e. (2p)

Bep = $151,875 / ($25 - $13.75) = 13,500 units

Sales Revenues = 13,500 x $25 = $337,500

NI = $54,000 (see 4a) -> OI = $54,000 / 60% = $90,000

22,000 x p = 22,000 x $13.75 + $135,000 + $16,875 + $90,000

22,000 x p = $302,500 + $241,875 = $544,375 ------- -> P = $24,74(4)

[OR: p = $25 {$95,625 (4d) - $90,000 (4a)} / 22,000 = $24.74]

4g. (3p)

NI = $60,000 -> OI = $60,000 / 60% = $100,000

$100,000 = 22,000 x ($25 - $13.75) ($135,000 + Advert. Costs)

$100,000 = $247,500 - $135,000 Adv. Costs -> Adv. C. = $12,500

[ OR (see 4d): Adv.C. = $16,875 ($100,000 - $95,625) = $12,500 ]

Assignment 5 (16p)

5a I When the fixed overhead rate is based on practical capacity, a favorable production volume is impossible.

False, not likely, but possible, by working overtime, deferring maintenance, etc.II Practical capacity is a demand based capacity concept.

False, supply based.

5b The prime costs and conversion costs per unit Uderz are respectively?

Prime = direct mat. + direct labor = $10 + $5 = $15

Conversion = D. labor + overhead = $5 + $65 = $70

5c The direct materials price variance was?

PV = ($2.50 $492,000 / 205,000 ) x 205,000 = ($2.50 $2.40) x 205,000 = $20,500 (F)

5d The direct materials efficiency variance was?

EV = (46,600 x 4 187,800) x $2.50 = (186,400 187,800) x $2.50 = $3,500 (U)

5e The direct labor price variance was?

PV = ($50 $239,200 / 4,600) x 4,600 = ($50 $52) x 4,600 = $9,200 (U)

5f Actual variable overhead cost was?

Flexible budget + spending variance + efficiency variance =

= 46,600 x $20 + $50,900 (46,600 x 0.50 23,150) x $40 = $976,900

5g The production volume variance was?

PVV = (46,600 x 0.50 mhr 24,000 mhr) x $90 = $63,000 (U)

5h Compared to operating income under Variable Costing, operating income under Absorption Costing was?(46,600 45,900) x $45 = $31,500 higher (fixed costs in inventory increase under Absorption Costing)
