The car company manufactures and sells Waxworks car polish. This expensive polish is priced at $20 per can (applicator sponge included). Car Company’s costs are:

Fixed costs (per month) Variable Costs per can

Manufacturing $500000 Manufacturing $11

Selling costs 292000 Selling 3

.Find the monthly breakeven quantity using the above data.

2.How many cans must be sold to earn $60000 per month above breakeven (before taxes)?

What is the Contribution Margin Ratio (CMR), using the costs in (2)?

4. If variable selling costs increase by 20% per can, what is the new break-even quantity, assuming $60000 per month before taxes is to be earned?

Assuming a 40% tax rate, how many cans must be sold to earn an after-tax income of $90000 above breakeven, and assuming selling costs increase 20% per can?

What is the DOL in (4) above?

Expert Solution

1. Breakeven quantity = Total fixed costs/Contribution per unit = ($500000 + $292000)/$6 = $792000/$6 = 132000 cans

Contribution per unit = Selling price - Variable costs = $20 - ($11 + $3) = $6

2. Number of cans to be sold = (Total fixed costs + Target income)/Contribution per unit = ($792000 + $60000)/$6 = $852000/$6 = 142000 cans

3. Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin/Sales = $6/$20 = 30%

4. Breakeven quantity = Total fixed costs/Contribution per unit = ($500000 + $292000)/$3.20 = $792000/$3.20 = 247500 cans

Contribution per unit = Selling price - Variable costs = $20 - [1.20 x ($11 + $3)] = $20 - $16.80 = $3.20

Number of cans to be sold = (Total fixed costs + Target income)/Contribution per unit = ($792000 + $60000)/$3.20 = $852000/$3.20 = 266250 cans

Number of cans to be sold = (Total fixed costs + Target income)/Contribution per unit = ($792000 + $150000)/$3.20 = $942000/$3.20 = 294375 cans

Target income = Net income/(1 - Tax rate) = $90000/(1 - 0.40) = $90000/0.60 = $150000

DOL = Contribution margin/Net operating income = (294375 x $3.20)/$90000 = $942000/$90000 = 10.47

Eurowatch company assembles expensive wristwatches and then sells them to retailers throughout europe. The watches are assembled at a plant with two assembly lines. These lines are intended to be identical, but line 1 uses somewhat older equipment than line 2 and is typically less reliable. Historical data have shown that each watch coming off line 1, independently of the others, is free of defects with probability .98. The similar probability for line 2 is 0.99. Each line produces 500...
