Cheryl Montoya picked up the phone and called her boss, Wes Chan, the vice president of marketing at Piedmont Fasteners Corporation: “Wes, I’m not sure how to go about answering the questions that came up at the meeting with the president yesterday.”

"What's the problem?"

“The president wanted to know the break-even point for each of the company’s products, but I am having trouble figuring them out.”

“I’m sure you can handle it, Cheryl. And, by the way, I need your analysis on my desk tomorrow morning at 8:00 sharp in time for the follow-up meeting at 9:00.”

Piedmont Fasteners Corporation makes three different clothing fasteners in its manufacturing facility in North Carolina. Data concerning these products appear below:

Velcro Metal Nylon
Normal annual sales volume 112,000 212,000 287,000
Unit selling price $ 1.70 $ 2.00 $ 1.10
Variable expense per unit $ 1.00 $ 1.40 $ .70

   

Total fixed expenses are $257,000 per year.

All three products are sold in highly competitive markets, so the company is unable to raise its prices without losing unacceptable numbers of customers.

The company has an extremely effective lean production system, so there are no beginning or ending work in process or finished goods inventories.

Required:  

1. What is the company’s overall break-even point in dollar sales? (Round CM ratio to 4 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole dollar.)

  

2. Of the total fixed expenses of $257,000, $17,500 could be avoided if the Velcro product is dropped, $103,200 if the Metal product is dropped, and $77,600 if the Nylon product is dropped. The remaining fixed expenses of $58,700 consist of common fixed expenses such as administrative salaries and rent on the factory building that could be avoided only by going out of business entirely.

a. What is the break-even point in unit sales for each product? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

   

b. If the company sells exactly the break-even quantity of each product, what will be the overall profit of the company? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

On January 2, 2018, Athol Company bought a machine for use in operations. The machine has an estimated useful life of eight years and an estimated residual value of $1,500. The company provided the following information:

  1. Invoice price of the machine, $73,150.
  2. Freight paid by the vendor per sales agreement, $770.
  3. Installation costs, $1,670 cash.
  4. Cost of cleaning up the supplies, boxes, and other garbage that remained after the installation of the machine, $80 cash.
  5. Payment of the machine's price was made as follows:

  • Issued 1,080 common shares of Athol Company at $5 per share.
  • Signed a $42,000 note payable due April 16, 2018, plus 12 percent interest.

January 15: Paid the balance of the invoice price in cash.

April 16: Paid the note payable and interest in cash.

  1. On June 30, 2020, the company completed the replacement of a major part of the machine that cost $12,350. This expenditure is expected to reduce the machine’s operating costs, increase its estimated useful life by two years, and decrease its estimated residual value to $1,000.
  2. Assume that on October 1, 2025, the company decided to replace the machine with a newer, more efficient model. It then sold the machine to Sako Ltd. on that date for $25,400 cash.

1. Compute the acquisition cost of the machine.

2. Prepare the journal entries to record the purchase of the machine and subsequent cash payments on January 15 and April 16, 2018. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to the nearest dollar amount.
