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 (12,800 units × $30 per unit) | $ | 384,000 | |
Variable expenses | 230,400 | ||
Contribution margin | 153,600 | ||
Fixed expenses | 171,600 | ||
Net operating loss | $ | (18,000 | ) |
Required:
3. Refer to the original data. The sales manager is convinced that a 10% reduction in the selling price, combined with an increase of $33,000 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 cents 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 $54,000 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 20,700 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 20,700)?

Based on past experience, Leickner Company expects to purchase raw materials from a foreign supplier at a cost of 1,100,000 marks on March 15, 2018. To hedge this forecasted transaction, the company acquires a three-month call option to purchase 1,100,000 marks on December 15, 2017. Leickner selects a strike price of $0.81 per mark, paying a premium of $0.002 per unit, when the spot rate is $0.81. The spot rate increases to $0.817 at December 31, 2017, causing the fair value of the option to increase to $9,000. By March 15, 2018, when the raw materials are purchased, the spot rate has climbed to $0.83, resulting in a fair value for the option of $22,000.
a. Prepare all journal entries for the option hedge of a forecasted transaction and for the purchase of raw materials, assuming that December 31 is Leickner's year-end and that the raw materials are included in the cost of goods sold in 2018.
