Jim Sandalwood has recently opened The Sandal Hut in Brisbane, Australia, a store that specializes in fashionable sandals. Jim has just received a degree in business and he is anxious to apply the principles he has learned to his business. In time, he hopes to open a chain of sandal shops. As a first step, he has prepared the following analysis for his new store: |
| Sales price per pair of sandals | $ | 50.00 |
| Variable expenses per pair of sandals | 30.00 | |
| Contribution margin per pair of sandals | $ | 20.00 |
| Fixed expenses per year: | ||
| Building rental | $ | 18,000 |
| Equipment depreciation | 6,000 | |
| Selling | 32,000 | |
| Administrative | 34,000 | |
| Total fixed expenses | $ | 90,000 |
| Required: |
| 1. |
How many pairs of sandals must be sold to break even? What does this represent in total dollar sales? |
| 3. |
Jim has decided that he must earn at least $25,000 the first year to justify his time and effort. How many pairs of sandals must be sold to reach this target profit? |
| 4. |
Jim now has one salesperson working in the store -- one part time. It will cost him an additional $12,000 per year to convert the part-time position to a full-time position. Jim believes that the change would bring in an additional $80,000 in sales each year. Should he convert the position? Use the incremental approach. |

|
| 5. |
Refer to the original data. During the first year, the store sold only 5,250 pairs of sandals and reported the following operating results: |
| Sales (5,250 pairs) | $ | 262,500 |
| Less variable expenses | 157,500 | |
| Contribution margin | 105,000 | |
| Less fixed expenses | 90,000 | |
| Net operating income | $ | 15,000 |
| a. | What is the store’s degree of operating leverage? |
| b. |
Jim is confident that with a more intense sales effort and with a more creative advertising program he can increase sales by 10% next year. What would be the expected percentage increase in net operating income? Use the degree of operating leverage concept to compute your answer. |

This semester, we learned that Congress designed the Code to include deductions that can be taken for losses that a taxpayer may experience. Two such deductions are (1) the bad debt deduction and (2) the deduction for casualty losses and theft. How does the IRS generally interpret deductions (i.e., broadly or narrowly)? How do we determine whether a taxpayer is entitled to each of these two deductions? What is the purpose of each of these two deductions? Are there any limits on the deduction at issue? Finally, what generally governs when a taxpayer may take each of these two deductions?

Modern 5,000 $2,100 $500 $500
Distressed 30,000 $800 $100 $300
a. Calculate the machine hours per unit required to satisfy the estimated demand for
each type of cabinet.
b. Calculate the contribution margin per unit earned from each type of cabinet?
c. Advise Mr. Denver on the most profitable product mix based on these three models.
