Toler Company sells flags with team logos. Toler has fixed costs of $ 1,680,000 per year plus variable costs of $ 7.20 per flag. Each flag sells for $ 24.00.

Requirement 4. The company is considering an expansion that will increase fixed costs by 20 % and variable costs by $2.40 per flag. Compute the new breakeven point in units and in dollars. Should Toler undertake the expansion? Give your reasoning. (Round your final answers up to the next whole number.) (Use the equation approach.)

Begin by selecting the formula to compute the required sales in units to break even under the expansion plan.

Net sales revenue

-

Variable costs

-

Fixed costs

=

Target profit

Rearrange the formula you determined above and compute the required number of flags to break even under the expansion plan.

Under the expansion plan, the breakeven point in units would be

how many flags?

Under the expansion plan, the breakeven point in dollars would be $

.______

Expert Solution

Answer

Break even units without expansion plan	100000	Units
Break even units with expansion plan	140000	Units

Decision : NO expansion plan must not be followed

Reasoning

As with expansion plan there is going to be increase in break even level means more efforts to reach zero level profit or loss and expansion plan will reduce contribution per unit due to increase in variable expanses by $2.40

Calculated as

Calculation of break even units Without expansion plan

Net Sale

-

Variable Expenses

-

Fixed Expense

=

Target Profit

Let break even units be Y at break even point target profit is Zero

so Equation will be written as

24Y

-

7.20y

-

1680000

=

0

further

16.80Y = $1680000

Break even units = Y = $168000/16.80 = 100000 Units

Calculation of break even units With expansion plan

New variable cost = $7.20+2.40 = $9.60

Fixed Cost = $1680000+20% = $2016000

New break even point will be = Fixed Cost/Selling price - Variable cost

= $2016000/(24-9.60)

= 140000 Units

Your company has fixed costs of $150,000 per year. The variable costs per unit in 2018 were $3 per unit, and 30,000 units were produced that year. Your company uses cost-based pricing and has a profit margin of $3 per unit. In 2019, production increased and your team had more experience—variable costs went down to $2 per unit because of your team’s higher skill and 65,000 units were produced that year. What is the change in selling price from 2018...

Mod Inc. sells parts for $80 each. Fixed costs are $1,200 per year and variable costs are $65 per unit. If the initial investment is $6,600 and is expected to last for 5 years and the firm pays 35% taxes, what is the accounting and economic break-even level of sales respectively? The initial investment will be depreciated straight-line over 5 years to a final value of zero, and the discount rate is 12%.

Fixed costs are assumed to be $500,000 per year. The company estimates the variable cost per unit (v) to be $75 and expects to sell each unit for $425. There are no taxes and the required rate of return is 22% per year. Suppose that sales are currently estimated to be 5000 units per month. What is the degree of operating leverage? (Round to 1 decimal place, ie 2.3) Using your answer from above, estimate what the new monthly operating...

A rotational molding operation has fixed costs of $7,000 per year and variable costs of $47 per unit. If the process is automated via conveyor, its fixed cost will be $49,000 per year, but its variable cost will be only $10 per unit. Determine the number of units each year necessary for the two operations to break even.
