The condensed income statement for the Blossom and Paul partnership for 2020 is as follows.

Sales (240,000 units) $1,200,000
Cost of goods sold 800,000
Gross profit 400,000
Operating expenses
Selling $280,000
Administrative 156,000
436,000
Net loss $(36,000 )

A cost behavior analysis indicates that 75% of the cost of goods sold are variable, 42% of the selling expenses are variable, and 40% of the administrative expenses are variable.

1) Compute the break-even point in total sales dollars for 2020.

2) Blossom has proposed a plan to get the partnership “out of the red” and improve its profitability. She feels that the quality of the product could be substantially improved by spending $0.30 more per unit on better raw materials. The selling price per unit could be increased to only $5.25 because of competitive pressures. Blossom estimates that sales volume will increase by 25%. Compute the net income under Blossom's proposal and the break-even point in dollars

To prepare a master budget for April, May, and June of 2013, management gathers the following information.

Sales for March total 23,300 units. Forecasted sales in units are as follows: April, 23,300; May, 17,000; June, 21,900; July, 23,300. Sales of 258,000 units are forecasted for the entire year. The product’s selling price is $26.00 per unit and its total product cost is $21.10 per unit.

b.

Company policy calls for a given month’s ending raw materials inventory to equal 50% of the next month’s materials requirements. The March 31 raw materials inventory is 4,565 units, which complies with the policy. The expected June 30 ending raw materials inventory is 5,800 units. Raw materials cost $20 per unit. Each finished unit requires 0.50 units of raw materials.

c.

Company policy calls for a given month’s ending finished goods inventory to equal 80% of the next month’s expected unit sales. The March 31 finished goods inventory is 18,640 units, which complies with the policy

d.

Each finished unit requires 0.50 hours of direct labor at a rate of $14 per hour.

e.

Overhead is allocated based on direct labor hours. The predetermined variable overhead rate is $4.50 per direct labor hour. Depreciation of $38,360 per month is treated as fixed factory overhead.

f.

Sales representatives’ commissions are 10% of sales and are paid in the month of the sales. The sales manager’s monthly salary is $4,800 per month.

g.

Monthly general and administrative expenses include $30,000 administrative salaries and 0.8% monthly interest on the long-term note payable.

All raw materials purchases are on credit, and no payables arise from any other transactions. One month’s raw materials purchases are fully paid in the next month.

J.

The minimum ending cash balance for all months is $58,000. If necessary, the company borrows enough cash using a short-term note to reach the minimum. Short-term notes require an interest payment of 1% at each month-end (before any repayment). If the ending cash balance exceeds the minimum, the excess will be applied to repaying the short-term notes payable balance.

K. Dividends of $28,000 are to be declared and paid in May.

No cash payments for income taxes are to be made during the second calendar quarter. Income tax will be assessed at 40% in the quarter and paid in the third calendar quarter.
