Due to erratic sales of its sole product—a high-capacity battery for laptop computers—PEM, Inc., has been experiencing financial difficulty for some time. The company’s contribution format income statement for the most recent month is given below:
| Sales (13,000 units × $30 per unit) | $ | 390,000 | |
| Variable expenses | 195,000 | ||
| Contribution margin | 195,000 | ||
| Fixed expenses | 217,500 | ||
| Net operating loss | $ | (22,500 | ) |
Required:
1. Compute the company’s CM ratio and its break-even point in unit sales and dollar sales.
2. The president believes that a $6,500 increase in the monthly advertising budget, combined with an intensified effort by the sales staff, will result in an $89,000 increase in monthly sales. If the president is right, what will be the increase (decrease) in the company’s monthly net operating income?
3. Refer to the original data. The sales manager is convinced that a 10% reduction in the selling price, combined with an increase of $39,000 in the monthly advertising budget, will double unit sales. If the sales manager is right, what will be the revised net operating income (loss)?
4. Refer to the original data. The Marketing Department thinks that a fancy new package for the laptop computer battery would grow sales. The new package would increase packaging costs by $0.50 per unit. Assuming no other changes, how many units would have to be sold each month to attain a target profit of $4,200?
5. Refer to the original data. By automating, the company could reduce variable expenses by $3 per unit. However, fixed expenses would increase by $57,000 each month.
a. Compute the new CM ratio and the new break-even point in unit sales and dollar sales.
b. Assume that the company expects to sell 20,900 units next month. Prepare two contribution format income statements, one assuming that operations are not automated and one assuming that they are. (Show data on a per unit and percentage basis, as well as in total, for each alternative.)
c. Would you recommend that the company automate its operations (Assuming that the company expects to sell 20,900)?

Jack is the only shareholder of XYZ Corporation. At year-end, XYZ had $200 of current year earnings and profits and $600 of accumulated earnings and profits. If XYZ distributes cash of $200 to Jack, what is Jack’s tax liability on the dividend, if any? Assume Jack has a basis of $10 in XYZ shares. How does this result change if XYZ only has $50 of current earnings and profits and $100 of accumulated earnings and profits?

Destin Company recently acquired several businesses and recognized goodwill in each acquisition. Destin has allocated the resulting goodwill to its three reporting units: Sand Dollar, Salty Dog, and Baytowne. Destin opts to skip the qualitative assessment and therefore performs a quantitative goodwill impairment review annually.
In its current year assessment of goodwill, Destin provides the following individual asset and liability values for each reporting unit:
| Carrying Amounts | Fair Values | |||||
| Sand Dollar | ||||||
| Tangible assets | $ | 267,000 | $ | 285,900 | ||

The fair values for each reporting unit (including goodwill) are $781,400 for Sand Dollar, $789,900 for Salty Dog, and $712,750 for Baytowne. To date, Destin has reported no goodwill impairments.
How much goodwill impairment should Destin report this year?
