The market price for a product has been $50 per unit, but competitive pressures have reduced the market price to $45. The firm manufactures 10,000 of these products per year at a manufacturing cost of $38 per unit (including $22 fixed cost and $16 variable cost per unit). Other selling and administrative costs for the product are $8 per unit. What is the firm’s target manufacturing cost for this product if the profit per unit is to remain unchanged? The firm ignores competitive prices because it has a differentiated product. It uses full manufacturing cost–based pricing with a 40% markup. What is the firm’s price?

Faldo Company produces a single product. The projected income statement for the coming year, based on sales of 200,000 units, is as follows: Required: 1. Compute the unit contribution margin and the units that must be sold to break even. Suppose that 30,000 units are sold above the break-even point. What is the profit? 2. Compute the contribution margin ratio and the break-even point in dollars. Suppose that revenues are 200,000 greater than expected. What would the total profit be? 3. Compute the margin of safety in sales revenue. 4. Compute the operating leverage. Compute the new profit level if sales are 20 percent higher than expected. 5. How many units must be sold to earn a profit equal to 10 percent of sales? 6. Assume the income tax rate is 40 percent. How many units must be sold to earn an after-tax profit of 180,000?
Baghdad Company produces a single product. They have recently received the result of a market survey that indicates that they can increase the retail price of their product by 10% without losing customers or market share. All other costs will remain unchanged. If they enact the 10% price increase, what will be their new break-even point in units and dollars? Their most recent CVP analysis is:
The marketing manager of Jordan Corporation has determined that a market exists for a telephone with a sales price of $19 per unit. The production manager estimates the annual fixed costs of producing between 41,600 and 80,700 telephones would be $310,200. Required Assume that Jordan desires to earn a $120,000 profit from the phone sales. How much can Jordan afford to spend on variable cost per unit if production and sales equal 47,800 phones? Variable cost per unit
Dull Corporation produces 8,000 parts each year, which are used in the production of one of its products. The unit product cost of a part is $36, computed as follows: Variable production cost $ 16 Fixed production cost 20 Unit product cost $ 36 The parts can be purchased from an outside supplier for only $28 each. The space in which the parts are now produced would be idle and fixed production costs would be reduced by one-fourth. Based on these data, the financial advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the parts from the outside supplier would be:

The marketing manager of Perez Corporation has determined that a market exists for a telephone with a sales price of $22 per unit. The production manager estimates the annual fixed costs of producing between 40,800 and 81,700 telephones would be $374,100. Required Assume that Perez desires to earn a $133,000 profit from the phone sales. How much can Perez afford to spend on variable cost per unit if production and sales equal 46,100 phones?

Assume that a firm produces an industrial product of a variable cost of $8,500 and has fixed costs of $ 25,000 per week ,currently the firms sells 20 units per week priced at $ 10625 per unit . What is the current profitability of the firm? What is the improvement to profitability if variable costs are reduced by 1 percent holding all else constant?

What is the improvement to profitability if the price is increased by 1 percent holding all else constant? In isolation improving which aspect of the firm will have the largest positive impact on profits?
Assume a company is considering adding a new product. The expected cost and revenue data for this product are as follows: Annual sales 5,000 units Unit selling price $ 60 Unit variable costs: Production $ 33 Selling $ 6 Incremental fixed costs per year: Production $ 34,500 Selling $ 45,000 If the company adds the new product, it expects the contribution margin of other product lines to drop by $15,300 per year. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of adding the new product? Multiple Choice $40,800 $10,200 $89,700 $25,500
To be profitable, a firm must recover its costs. These costs include both its fixed and its variable costs. One way that a firm evaluates at what stage it would recover the invested costs is to calculate how many units or how much in dollar sales is necessary for the firm to earn a profit. Consider the case of Blue Mouse Manufacturers: Blue Mouse Manufacturers is considering a project that will have fixed costs of $10,000,000. The product will be sold for $37.50 per unit, and will incur a variable cost of $11.25 per unit. Given Blue Mouse’s cost structure, it will have to sell units to break even on this project (QBEQBE).
Ignite Products is a price-taker. The company produces large spools of electrical wire in a highly competitive market; thus, it uses target pricing. The current market price of the electric wire is $800 per unit. The company has $3,200,000 in average assets, and the desired profit is a return of 8% on assets. Assume all products produced are sold. The company provides the following information: Sales volume Variable costs Fixed costs O A $12,000,000 B. $71,000,000 units per year per unit $12,000,000 per year If fixed costs cannot be reduced, how much reduction in variable costs will be needed to achieve the desired target? OC. $256,000 O D. $3,256,000 100,000 $710

Consider the case of Blue Mouse Manufacturers: Blue Mouse Manufacturers is considering a project that will have fixed costs of $10,000,000. The product will be sold for $32.50 per unit, and will incur a variable cost of $11.25 per unit. Given Blue Mouse’s cost structure, it will have to sell units to break even on this project (QBEQBE). Blue Mouse Manufacturers’s marketing sales director doesn’t think that the market for the firm’s goods is big enough to sell enough units to make the company’s target operating profit of $25,000,000. In fact, she believes that the firm will be able to sell only about 150,000 units. However, she also thinks the demand for Blue Mouse Manufacturers’s…
EBraizen, Inc. produces a product with a $30 per-unit variable cost and an $80 per-unit sales price. Fixed manufacturing overhead costs are $100,000. The firm has a one-time opportunity to sell an additional 1,000 units at $60 each that would not affect its current sales. Assuming the company has sufficient capacity to produce the additional units, how would the acceptance of the special order affect net income? Multiple Choice income would increase by $140,000. income would decrease by $30,000. income would increase by $30,000. income would increase by $40,000.
