  Gain in after tax income

Now assume that in 2012 the volume remains constant at 15,500 units, but the sales price decreases by 15 percent from its year 2011 level.

Compute the after tax income. (Round your sales price to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount. Omit the “$” sign in your response.)

Philip Morris is excited because sales for his clothing company are expected to double from $730,000 to $1,460,000 next year. Philip notes that net assets (Assets – Liabilities) will remain at 50 percent of Sales. His clothing firm will enjoy a 10 percent return on total sales. He will start the year with $330,000 in the bank and is already bragging about the two Mercedes he will buy and the European vacation he will take.

The Manning Company has financial statements as shown below, which are representative of the company’s historical average.

   The firm is expecting a 40 percent increase in sales next year, and management is concerned about the company’s need for external funds. The increase in sales is expected to be carried out without any expansion of fixed assets, but rather through more efficient asset utilization in the existing store. Among liabilities, only current liabilities vary directly with sales.

Eaton Tool Company has fixed costs of $232,400, sells its units for $62, and has variable costs of $34 per unit.

Compute the break-even point.

  Break-even point

units  

Ms. Eaton comes up with a new plan to cut fixed costs to $180,000. However, more labor will now be required, which will increase variable costs per unit to $37. The sales price will remain at $62. What is the new break-even point? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

  New break-even point

Under the new plan, what is likely to happen to profitability at very high volume levels (compared to the old plan)?

With less operating leverage and a smaller contribution margin, profitability is likely to be less than it would have been at very high volume levels.

Air Purifier, Inc., computes its break-even point strictly on the basis of cash expenditures related to fixed costs. Its total fixed costs are $2,520,000, but 20 percent of this value is represented by depreciation. Its contribution margin (price minus variable cost) for each unit is $54. How many units does the firm need to sell to reach the cash break-even point? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
