You have received the following projected income statement from an employee of your company:
Sales $76,000,000
-Variable costs ?
- Fixed costs ?
---------------
EBIT ?
- Interest 3,050,000
---------------
Profit before tax 17,450,000
- Tax 5,450,000
---------------
Net Income 12,000,000
The employee (UW-Eau Claire grad) is confused on the meaning of variable versus fixed costs and could not finish the statement. I have assured the employee that you will not have any problem finishing this. The Company has a 46% contribution margin.
After completing the income statement, determine the following:
A. The breakeven point in dollars.
B. The DOL based on the above statement.
C. The DFL based on the above statement.
D. The DCL based on the above statement.
E. If sales are down 6% from our expected level, what happens (percentage-wise) to EBIT, Net Income and EPS? Assume we have 250,000 shares.
A. Given Contribution margin = 46%
Step 1 Contribution margin = (sales - variable cost)/Sales
=variable cost = sales -( contribution margin* Sales)
= 76000000-(46%*76000000)=41040000
So variable cost =41040000
Explaination | Amount | |
Sales | D | 76000000 |
-Variable costs | From Stept 1 E | 41040000 |
- Fixed costs | (D-C-E) B/f | 14460000 |
EBIT | A+B= C | 20500000 |
- Interest | B | 3050000 |
Profit before tax | A | 17450000 |
-Tax | 5450000 | |
Net Income | 12000000 |
Break even point is where the sales will be ables to recover the fixed and variable cost. in other words it is no loss or no profit situation
= Fixed cost/contribution margin
= 14460000/46%=31434782.6$
Break even point sales= 31434782.6$
B. DOL = degree of operation leverage= sales- variable cost/(sales - variable cost- fixed cost)
=76000000-41040000/(76000000-41040000-14460000)=1.705
C. DFL = degree of Finance leverage= EBIT/(EBIT- interest)
=20500000/(20500000-3050000)=1.1748
D. DCL= degree of combined leverage=DOL*DFL or contribution margin/(EBIT- interest)
=1.705*1.1748= 2.003
E.
Amount A | Decreased by 6% B | Explaination | Change in % (B-A)/B | |
Sales | 76,000,000 | 71,440,000 | 100-6%=94% | |
-Variable costs | 41,040,000 | 38,577,600 | 100-6%=94% | |
- Fixed costs | 14,460,000 | 14,460,000 | Remains constant | |
EBIT | 20,500,000 | 18,402,400 | Sales-variable cost-fixed cost | -10.23% =(18,402,400-20,500,000)/ 20,500,000 |
- Interest | 3,050,000 | 3,050,000 | Remains constant | |
Profit before tax | 17,450,000 | 15,352,400 | EBIT- interest | |
-Tax | 5,450,000 | 4,794,876 | Tax % = 5450000/17450000=31.23% so PBT *31.23% | |
Net Income | 12,000,000 | 10,557,524 | -12.02%= (10,557,524-12,000,000)/12,000,000 | |
EPS for 250000 shares | 48 | 42 | Net income/no of shares | -12.02%= (42-48)/48 |
So change in EBIT= -10.23%
So change in Net income = -12.02%
So change in EPS= -12.02%
