During Heaton Company’s first two years of operations, it reported absorption costing net operating income as follows:

Year 1 Year 2
Sales (@ $62 per unit) $ 1,116,000 $ 1,736,000
Cost of goods sold (@ $33 per unit) 594,000 924,000
Gross margin 522,000 812,000
Selling and administrative expenses* 302,000 332,000
Net operating income $ 220,000 $ 480,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead ($322,000 ÷ 23,000 units) 14
Absorption costing unit product cost $ 33

Forty percent of fixed manufacturing overhead consists of wages and salaries; the remainder consists of depreciation charges on production equipment and buildings.

Production and cost data for the first two years of operations are:

Year 1 Year 2
Units produced 23,000 23,000
Units sold 18,000 28,000

Questions:

1. Using variable costing, what is the unit product cost for both years?

Toxaway Company is a merchandiser that segments its business into two divisions—Commercial and Residential. The company’s accounting intern was asked to prepare segmented income statements that the company’s divisional managers could use to calculate their break-even points and make decisions. She took the prior month’s companywide income statement and prepared the absorption format segmented income statement shown below:

Total
Company
Commercial Residential
Sales $ 870,000 $ 290,000 $ 580,000
Cost of goods sold 571,300 153,700 417,600
Gross margin 298,700 136,300 162,400
Selling and administrative expenses 272,000 120,000 152,000
Net operating income $ 26,700 $ 16,300 $ 10,400

In preparing these statements, the intern determined that Toxaway’s only variable selling and administrative expense is a 10% sales commission on all sales. The company’s total fixed expenses include $75,000 of common fixed expenses that would continue to be incurred even if the Commercial or Residential segments are discontinued, $66,000 of fixed expenses that would be avoided if the Commercial segment is dropped, and $44,000 of fixed expenses that would be avoided if the Residential segment is dropped.

Required:

1. Do you agree with the intern’s decision to use an absorption format for her segmented income statement?

2. Based on a review of the intern’s segmented income statement:

a. How much of the company’s common fixed expenses did she allocate to the Commercial and Residential segments?

b. Which of the following three allocation bases did she most likely used to allocate common fixed expenses to the Commercial and Residential segments: (a) sales, (b) cost of goods sold, or (c) gross margin?

3. Do you agree with the intern’s decision to allocate the common fixed expenses to the Commercial and Residential segments?

4. Redo the intern’s segmented income statement using the contribution format.

5. Compute the companywide break-even point in dollar sales.

6. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the Commercial Division and for the Residential Division.

7. Assume the company decided to pay its sales representatives in the Commercial and Residential Divisions a total monthly salary of $19,000 and $38,000, respectively, and to lower its companywide sales commission percentage from 10% to 5%. Calculate the new break-even point in dollar sales for the Commercial Division and the Residential Division.

Jen & Berry’s sold 100,000 pints of ice cream last month according to the following contribution format income statement

Total Per Unit

SALES    $330,000    $3.30

VARIABLE COSTS 200,000 2.00

CONTRIBUTION MARGIN $ 130,000 $ 1.30

FIXED COSTS 50,000

NET INCOME $ 80,000

A competing company, Un-Friendly’s, also sold 100,000 pints of ice cream last month according to the following contribution format income statement:

Total Per Unit

SALES $255,000 $2.55

VARIABLE COSTS 100,000 1.00

CONTRIBUTION MARGIN $ 155,000 $ 1.55

FIXED COSTS 75,000

NET INCOME $ 80,000

Both companies sold the same amount of ice cream and had the same Net Income but have different price and cost structures. Jen & Berry’s uses higher quality ingredients (variable cost) and charges a higher price than its competitor. Un-Friendly’s spends more on advertising (fixed cost) and sells at a lower price than Jen & Berry’s.

5.Using last month’s income statements on page 2, calculate the safety margin in units (pints of ice cream) for each company.

6.Jen & Berry’s is considering two options to increase sales next month (and hopefully profit):

Option #1:

Double the pints sold next month by decreasing the price by 15 cents to $3.15.

Option #2:

Double the pints sold next month by spending an additional $20,000 next month

(fixed cost) on advertising. Price of ice cream remains at $3.30 per pint.

Which option should Jen & Berry’s choose?? Explain your answer by showing calculations for both options.

7.Un-Friendly’s is considering the same two options to increase sales next month (and hopefully profit):

Option #1:

Double the pints sold next month by decreasing the price by 15 cents to $2.40.

Option #2:

Double the pints sold next month by spending an additional $20,000 next month

(fixed cost) on advertising. Price of ice cream remains at $2.55 per pint.

Which option should Un-Friendly’s choose?? Explain your answer by showing calculations for both options.

Fast forward a few months...Your friend asks you how your business is doing and you are unsure how exactly to answer. In fact, you are not necessarily sure how your business is going since you are so new to this! This part will help you organize your thoughts and come up with a more formalized process and financial reporting can help you demonstrate your success (or lack thereof!).

For your cart, come up with a way to determine profit and financial position. Expand your Excel spreadsheet from part 1 by adding an additional tab. There is no specific format for this. Data should be reasonable based on your projections from Part 1 and include all expenses. Your grade is not dependent on whether you are making a profit.

Use the momentum from the discussion forums from week's 6-7 where we collectively brainstormed methods of (a) if the business was profitable and (b) how to measure profitability in a professional format.

Include an analysis that summarizes your findings in a professional manner.

This part of the project should be approximately 2 - 4 pages including the financials.
