Question

The condensed income statement of the Aria Hotel (AH) is as follows:

Variable costs

Fixed costs

Department Income

Gift Shop

Total department income

Other variable expenses*

Other fixed costs**

Pretax income

Income taxes

Net income

*Management fees and rent expense vary with rooms revenue.

**Includes depreciation of $800,000.

Compute the AH’s weighted average CMR. Consider all variable costs.

AH’s total revenues =

5000000+2000000+200000+400000= 7,600,000

AH’s total variable costs =

1000000+800000+200000+150000+950000= 3,100,000

AH’s total fixed costs =

AH’s weighted average CMR (CMRw) =

7600000-3100000/ 7600000= 0.59

Compute the AH’s breakeven point.

4000000/0.59= 6779661.02

If the AH desires to earn (net income) $500,000, what must its total food sales equal? (Assume the sales mix is constant).

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Desired net income = $500,000

Tax rate = $100,000 / $500,000 = 20%

Desired pre tax income = $500,000 / 80% = $625,000

Total fixed cost = $4,000,000

Desired contribution = $625,000 + $4,000,000 = $4,625,000

Contribution margin ratio = 0.59

Required total sale to earn net income of $500,000 = Desired contribution / contribution margin ratio

= $4,625,000 / 0.59 = $7,838,983.05

Food sales = $7,838,983.05 * $2,000,000 / $7,600,000 = $2,062,890.28
