Break-Even Sales and Cost-Volume-Profit Chart

Last year, O'Meara Co. had sales of $2,000,000, based on a unit selling price of $500. The variable cost per unit was $300, and fixed costs were $720,000. The maximum sales within O'Meara's relevant range are 5,000 units. O'Meara is considering a proposal to spend an additional $50,000 on billboard advertising during the current year in an attempt to increase sales and utilize unused capacity.

Instructions:

1. Construct a cost-volume-profit chart (on your own paper) indicating the break-even sales for last year. In your computations, round thecontribution margin ratio to the nearest percent.

Dollars: Select$1,000,000$1,500,000$1,800,000$2,000,000Item 1 Units: Select2,8003,6004,8006,000Item 2

2. Using the cost-volume-profit chart prepared in part (1), determine (a) the income from operations for last year and (b) the maximum income from operations that could have been realized during the year.

Income from operations: Select$55,000$75,000$80,000$100,000Item 3 Maximum income from operations: Select$220,000$255,000$280,000$320,000Item 4

3. Construct a cost-volume-profit chart indicating the break-even sales for the current year, assuming that a noncancelable contract is signed for the additional billboard advertising. No changes are expected in the selling price or other costs. In your computations, round the contribution margin ratio to the nearest percent.

Dollars: Select$1,100,000$1,550,000$1,800,000$1,925,000Item 5 Units: Select2,8003,8504,3505,600Item 6

4. Using the cost-volume-profit chart prepared in part (3), determine (a) the income from operations if sales total 4,000 units and (b) the maximum income from operations that could be realized during the year.

Income from operations at 4,000 units: Select$15,000$22,000$30,000$54,000Item 7
Maximum income from operations: Select$180,000$230,000$280,000$320,000

As derived above, the income from operations would be $80,000, which we got by reducing Fixed Cost of $ 720,000 from the Contribution of $800,000.

The Maximum income from operations, that could have been derived, had the Company utilized its full capacity of 5,000 Units:
Maximum Contribution = $ 200 per Unit x 5,000 Units = $ 10,00,000.
Less: Fixed Costs = ($720,000)
Maximum Income from Operations = $10,00,000 - $ 720,000 = $280,000
