Pittman Company is a small but growing manufacturer of telecommunications equipment. The company has no sales force of its own; rather, it relies completely on independent sales agents to market its products. These agents are paid a sales commission of 15% for all items sold.

     Barbara Cheney, Pittman’s controller, has just prepared the company’s budgeted income statement for next year. The statement follows:

Pittman Company
Budgeted Income Statement
For the Year Ended December 31
  Sales $ 16,000,000
  Manufacturing expenses:
      Variable $ 7,200,000
      Fixed overhead 2,340,000 9,540,000
  Gross margin 6,460,000
  Selling and administrative expenses:
      Commissions to agents 2,400,000
      Fixed marketing expenses 120,000*
      Fixed administrative expenses 1,800,000 4,320,000
  Net operating income 2,140,000
  Fixed interest expenses 540,000  
  Income before income taxes 1,600,000  
  Income taxes (30%) 480,000  
  Net income $ 1,120,000  
*Primarily depreciation on storage facilities.

     As Barbara handed the statement to Karl Vecci, Pittman’s president, she commented, “I went ahead and used the agents’ 15% commission rate in completing these statements, but we’ve just learned that they refuse to handle our products next year unless we increase the commission rate to 20%.”

     “That’s the last straw,” Karl replied angrily. “Those agents have been demanding more and more, and this time they’ve gone too far. How can they possibly defend a 20% commission rate?”

     “They claim that after paying for advertising, travel, and the other costs of promotion, there’s nothing left over for profit,” replied Barbara.

     “I say it’s just plain robbery,” retorted Karl. “And I also say it’s time we dumped those guys and got our own sales force. Can you get your people to work up some cost figures for us to look at?”

     “We’ve already worked them up,” said Barbara. “Several companies we know about pay a 7.5% commission to their own salespeople, along with a small salary. Of course, we would have to handle all promotion costs, too. We figure our fixed expenses would increase by $2,400,000 per year, but that would be more than offset by the $3,200,000 (20% × $16,000,000) that we would avoid on agents’ commissions.”

The breakdown of the $2,400,000 cost follows:

   

  Salaries:
     Sales manager $ 100,000
     Salespersons 600,000
  Travel and entertainment 400,000
  Advertising 1,300,000
  Total $ 2,400,000

     “Super,” replied Karl. “And I noticed that the $2,400,000 is just what we’re paying the agents under the old 15% commission rate.”

     “It’s even better than that,” explained Barbara. “We can actually save $75,000 a year because that’s what we’re having to pay the auditing firm now to check out the agents’ reports. So our overall administrative expenses would be less.”

     “Pull all of these numbers together and we’ll show them to the executive committee tomorrow,” said Karl. “With the approval of the committee, we can move on the matter immediately.”

Required:
1.

Compute Pittman Company’s break-even point in dollar sales for next year assuming: (Enter your answer in whole dollars and not in thousands. Round CM ratio to 3 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)

  

a.

The agents’ commission rate remains unchanged at 15%.

           

   

b.

The agents’ commission rate is increased to 20%.

           

  

c.

The company employs its own sales force.

           

2.

Assume that Pittman Company decides to continue selling through agents and pays the 20% commission rate. Determine the volume of sales that would be required to generate the same net income as contained in the budgeted income statement for next year. (Enter your answer in whole dollars and not in thousands. Round CM ratio to 2 decimal places.)

     

  

3.

Determine the volume of sales at which net income would be equal regardless of whether Pittman Company sells through agents (at a 20% commission rate) or employs its own sales force. (Enter your answer in whole dollars and not in thousands. Round CM ratio to 3 decimal places.)

     

4.

Compute the degree of operating leverage that the company would expect to have on December 31 at the end of next year assuming:

  

a.

The agents’ commission rate remains unchanged at 15%.

           

b.

The agents’ commission rate is increased to 20%.

            

c. The company employs its own sales force.

Allocation: Fixed and Variable Costs, Budgeted Fixed and Variable Costs

Biotechtron, Inc., has two research laboratories in the Southwest, one in Yuma, Arizona, and the other in Bernalillo, New Mexico. The owner of Biotechtron centralized the legal services function in the Yuma office and had both laboratories send any legal questions or issues to the Yuma office. The legal services support center has budgeted fixed costs of $175,000 per year and a budgeted variable rate of $66 per hour of professional time. The normal usage of the legal services center is 2,925 hours per year for the Yuma office and 1,575 hours per year for the Bernalillo office. This corresponds to the expected usage for the coming year.

Required:

1. Determine the amount of legal services support center costs that should be assigned to each office. In your computations, carry ratio values out to two decimal places. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar if rounding is required.

2. Since the offices produce services, not tangible products, what purpose is served by allocating the budgeted costs?

3. Now, assume that during the year, the legal services center incurred actual fixed costs of $178,300 and actual variable costs of $254,740. It delivered 3,840 hours of professional time—2,270 hours to Yuma and 1,570 hours to Bernalillo.

Determine the amount of the legal services center's costs that should be allocated to each office.
