Cove’s Cakes is a local bakery. Price and cost information
follows:
Price per cake | $ | 14.01 | |
Variable cost per cake | |||
Ingredients | 2.19 | ||
Direct labor | 1.12 | ||
Overhead (box, etc.) | 0.29 | ||
Fixed cost per month | $ | 3,955.80 | |
Required:
1. Calculate Cove’s new break-even point under each of the
following independent scenarios: (Round your answer to the
nearest whole number.)
a. Sales price increases by $1.10 per cake.
b. Fixed costs increase by $450 per
month.
c. Variable costs decrease by $0.44 per
cake.
d. Sales price decreases by $0.50 per
cake.
2. Assume that Cove sold 400 cakes last month.
Calculate the company’s degree of operating leverage. (Do
not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal
places.)
3. Using the degree of operating leverage
calculated in Requirement 2, calculate the change in profit caused
by a 5 percent increase in sales revenue. (Round your final
answer to 2 decimal places (i.e. .1234 should be entered as
12.34%.))

Fixed Cost | 3955.8 |
Net Operating Income | 208 |
3. Net Operating income will increase by = 20*5% = 100% |
