Question

Flip had sales of $10,000 (100 units at $100 per). Manufacturing costs consisted of direct labor $1,500, direct materials $1,400, variable factory overhead $1,000, and fixed factory overhead $500. The company did not maintain any inventories, so total cost of goods sold was $4,400. Selling expenses totaled $1,600 ($600 variable and $1,000 fixed), and administrative expenses totaled $1,500 ($500 variable and $1,000 fixed). Operating income was $2,500. Round all final answers to nearest dollar or whole number. Requirements: a. What is the breakeven point in sales dollars and in units if the fixed factory overhead increased by $1,700? b. What is the breakeven point in sales dollars and in units if costs remain as originally projected? c. What would be the operating income be if sales units increased by 25%

Explanation / Answer

Contribution:

Sales (100 units at $100 per) = $10,000

Variable Manufacturing costs:

direct labor = $1,500

direct materials = $1,400

variable factory overhead = $1,000

Variable selling expense = $600

variable administrative expense = $500

(total variable cost @ $50 / unit) = $5,000

CONTRIBUTION (@ $50 / unit) = $5,000

Required a. the breakeven point in sales dollars and in units if the fixed factory overhead increased by $1,700=

Fixed Costs = Fixed factory overhead + Fixed Selling expenses +

Fixed Administrative expenses + Addition Fixed Factory overhead

= $500 + $1,000 + $1,000 + $1,700 = $4,200

Break-Even Point = $4200 / $50 contribution

= 84 units OR

= $8,400 Sales

Required b.: the breakeven point in sales dollars and in units if costs remain as originally projected =

Fixed Costs = $ 2500

Break-Even Point = $2500 / $50 = 50 units

= $5,000 Sales

Required c.: the operating income be if sales units increased by 25%=

Total increased Sales volume = 100 + 25% = 125 units

Total Contribution on 125 units @ $50 / unit= $6,250

Less: Fixed Costs as originally planned = $2500

OPERATING INCOME on increased volume =$3750
