Deckyard Company distributes a lightweight lawn chair that sells for $33 per unit. Variable expenses are $13.20 per unit, and fixed expenses total $118,800 annually.
Required:
1. What is the product's CM ratio?
2. Use the CM ratio to determine the break-even point in sales dollars.
3.

The company estimates that sales will increase by $45,000 during the coming year due to increased demand. By how much should net operating income increase?
4. Assume that the operating results for last year were as follows:


  
  Sales $ 990,000   
  Variable expenses 396,000   
  Contribution margin 594,000   
  Fixed expenses 118,800   
  Net operating income $ 475,200   

    

a.

Compute the degree of operating leverage at the current level of sales. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
b.

The president expects sales to increase by 20% next year. By how much should net operating income increase?
5.

Refer to the original data. Assume that the company sold 40,500 units last year. The sales manager is convinced that a 10% reduction in the selling price, combined with a $42,500 increase in advertising expenditures, would increase annual unit sales by 50%.


a.

Prepare two contribution format income statements, one showing the results of last year’s operations and one showing what the results of operations would be if these changes were made. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your "Per unit" answers to 2 decimal places.)


b. Would you recommend that the company do as the sales manager suggests?
Yes
No


6.

Refer to the original data. Assume again that the company sold 40,500 units last year. The president feels that it would be unwise to change the selling price. Instead, he wants to increase the sales commission by $2.00 per unit. He thinks that this move, combined with some increase in advertising, would double annual unit sales. By how much could advertising be increased with profits remaining unchanged? Do not prepare an income statement; use the incremental analysis approach.
