UNITS PRODUCED 5,000 15,000 25,000

TOTAL VARIABLE COST ________ _________ __________

6 Break-even point LO 11-5

Agassi Corporation sells products for $36 each that have variable costs of $13 per unit. Agassi’s annual fixed cost is $526,700.

Determine the break-even point in units and dollars.

9 Allocating costs between divisions LO 12-2

Kaplan Services Company (KSC) has 62 employees, 23 of whom are assigned to Division A and 39 to Division B. KSC incurred $373,860 of fringe benefits cost during 2014.

Determine the amount of the fringe benefits cost to be allocated to Division A and to Division B.

13 Allocating to smooth cost over varying levels of production LO 12-3

Production workers for Kennedy Manufacturing Company provided 320 hours of labor in January and 660 hours in February. Kennedy expects to use 4,000 hours of labor during the year. The rental fee for the manufacturing facility is $12,000 per month.

Based on this information, how much of the rental cost should be allocated to the products made in January and to those made in February?

The following variable production costs apply to goods made by Raeburn Manufacturing Corporation:

Explanation / Answer

Total Variable Cost = Total Quantity of Output * Variable Cost per Unit of Output

So when Raeburn makes 5000 units variable cost = 5000*2.5

                                                                                    = $ 12,500

So when Raeburn makes 15000 units variable cost = 15000*2.5

                                                                                    = $ 37,500

So when Raeburn makes 25,000 units variable cost = 25000*2.5

                                                                                    = $ 62,500

UNITS PRODUCED 5,000     15,000     25,000

TOTAL VARIABLE COST $12,500       $37,500          $62,500

At break-even point the profit is zero therefore the CVP formula is simplified to:

                                                                     px = vx + FC

Solving the above equation for x which equals break-even point in sales units, we get:

Break-even Sales Units = x =

FC

p v

Breakeven Point in Sales Units (x)
= 526,700 ÷ (36 13)   
= 526,700 ÷ 23
= 22,900 units

Break-even point in number of sales dollars is calculated using the following formula:

Break-even Sales Dollars = Price per Unit × Break-even Sales Units

= $36 × 22,900 = $824,400

The contribution margin for one unit of product or one unit of service is defined as:

                                                                    =$(175-84)

                                                                     =$91

2       Break even unit

  

Break-even Sales Units = x =

FC

p v

Breakeven Point in Sales Units (x)
= 637,000 ÷ (175 84)   
= 637,000 ÷ 91
= 7,000 units

3

(Target profit + fixed expenses)/contribution margin per unit

= ( $127,400 + $637,000) / $91

= 4,000 units

= 8,400 units

4

Margin of Safety = Margin of safety in dollars / Total budgeted or actual sales

Sales(8,400units @$175)

$1,470,000

Break even sales (7,000units @$175)

$ 1,225,000

Margin of safety in dollars

$ 245,000

Margin of safety unit

=245,000 ÷175

=1400

Margin of safety as a percentage of sales:

245,000 /1,470,000

= .1667

                                                                                     = 16.7%

fringe benefits cost to be allocated to Division A

=$373860 ÷62*23

=$138,690

                                                                     px = vx + FC
