Blaster Corporation manufactures hiking boots. For the coming year, the company has budgeted the following costs for the production and sale of 30,000 pairs of boots.
Budgeted Costs Budgeted Costs per Pair Percentage of Costs Considered Variable
Direct materials $ 630,000 $ 21 100 %
Direct labor 300,000 10 100
Manufacturing overhead
(fixed and variable) 720,000 24 25
Selling and administrative
expenses 600,000 20 20
Totals $ 2,250,000 $ 75
Required:
a. Compute the sales price per unit that would result in a budgeted operating income of $900,000, assuming that the company produces and sells 30,000 pairs. (Hint: First compute the budgeted sales revenue needed to produce this operating income.) Assume that the company decides to sell the boots at a unit price of $121 per pair.
b-1. Compute the total fixed costs budgeted for the year.
b-2. Compute the variable cost per unit.
b-3. Compute the contribution margin per pair of boots.
b-4. Compute the number of pairs that must be produced and sold annually to break even at a sales price of $121 per pair.

Answer:

a. Sales volume = (Fixed costs + Target income) / Contribution margin per unit

     Fixed costs = ( Percentage of fixed Selling and Admin expenses) +  

      Percentage of fixed Manufacturing expenses

     = 600,000 * 80% + 720,000 * 75%

     = 480,000 + 540,000

     = $1,020,000

30,000 units = (1,020,000 + 900,000) / Contribution Margin per unit

Contribution margin per unit = 1,920,000/30,000

= $64

Sales per unit = Contribution margin per unit  + Variable cost per unit

       Variable Cost per unit = 21 + 10 + (24*25%) + (20 * 20%)

        = $41

Sales per unit = 64 + 41

= $105 per unit

b - 1. Fixed costs = ( Percentage of fixed Selling and Admin expenses) + Percentage of fixed Manufacturing expenses

= 600,000 * 80% + 720,000 * 75%

= 480,000 + 540,000

= $1,020,000

b - 2. Variable Cost per unit

= Direct materials + Direct Labor + variable percentage of Manufacturing overhead cost per unit + variable percentage of Selling and administrative per unit

= 21 + 10 + (24*25%) + (20 * 20%)

= $41

b - 3. Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost

= 121 - 41

= $80

b - 4. Breakeven Point = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin

= 1,020,000/80

= 12,750 units

Suppose someone offered to sell you a note calling for payment of $1,225 15 months from today (456 days). They offer to sell it to you for $950. You have $950 in a bank time deposit which pays a 12% nominal rate with a daily (365 days a year) compounding, and you plan to leave the money in the bank unless you buy the note? Recommend action based on checking the decision in three ways:
(1) by comparing your future value if you buy the note versus leaving your money in the bank,
(2) by comparing the PV of the note with your current bank account, and
(3) by comparing the EAR on the note versus that of the bank account.

Which action is the best example of appropriate e-mail use at work?

Combat Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours × (54,000 + 10,200)]. Expected annual manufacturing overhead is $1,570,706. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $16.31 or ($1,570,706 ÷ 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models.

Andreasen Corporation manufactures thermostats for office buildings. The following is the cost of each unit:
Materials $ 36.00
Labor 14.00
Variable overhead 4.00
Fixed overhead ($1,800,000 per year; 100,000 units per year) 18.00
Total $ 72.00
Simpson Company has approached Andreasen with an offer to buy 7,500 thermostats at a price of $60 each. The regular price is $100. Andreasen has the capacity to produce the 7,500 additional units without affecting its current production of 100,000 units. Simpson requires that each unit use its branding, which requires a more expensive label, resulting in an additional $2 per unit material cost. The labor cost of affixing the label will be the same as for the current models. The Simpson order will also require a one-time rental of packaging equipment for $20,000.
Required:
a. Prepare a schedule to show the impact of filling the Simpson order on Andreasen’s profits for the year. (Enter your answers in thousands (i.e., 5,400,000 should be entered as 5,400). Select option "higher" or "lower", keeping Status Quo as the base. Select "none" if there is no effect.)
