Ziegler Inc. has decided to use the high-low method to estimate the total cost and the fixed and variable cost components of the total cost. The data for various levels of production are as follows: Units Produced: Total Costs: 99,000 $29,154,500 114,000 $31,937,000 127,000 $34,348,500 a. Determine the variable cost per unit and the total fixed cost. Round your answer for variable cost to the nearest cent. Round your answer for total fixed costs to the nearest dollar. b. Based on part (a), estimate the total cost for 81,000 units of production. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

a. Variable cost: $185.50 per unit Total fixed cost: $10,790,000 b. Total cost for 81,000 units: $25,815,500

Given the following costs and activities for Falcon Company electrical costs, use the high-low method to calculate Falcon's variable electrical costs per machine hour. Costs Machine Hours April $3,100 15,000 May $2,700 10,000 June $3,500 18,000

a. $0.77 per unit b. $0.56 per unit c. $10.00 per unit d. $0.10 per unit d. $0.10 per unit

Fritz, Inc.'s unit selling price is $75, the unit variable costs are $45, fixed costs are $150,000, and current sales are 10,000 units. How much will operating income change if sales increase by 5,000 units?

a. $150,000 increase b. $150,000 decrease c. $225,000 decrease d. $225,000 increase a. $150,000 increase Feedback: The contribution margin is calculated as sales price per unit - variable cost per unit, or $75 - $45 = $30 per unit. Thus, the additional 5,000 units would provide a $150,000 (5,000 units × $30) increase to operating income.

Craig Co. sells two products: A and B. Last year, Craig sold 14,000 units of A and 21,000 units of B. Related data are as follows: Product I Unit Selling Price I Unit Variable Cost I Unit Cont. Marg. A $110 $70 $40 B $70 $50 $20 What was Craig Co.'s unit contribution margin?

a. $20 b. $40 c. $30 d. $28 d. $28 The sales mix is calculated based on adding the units of each product to get the total units. Then each product is divided by the total units. 14,000 A units + 21,000 B units = 35,000 total units. A's proportion is 14,000 ÷ 35,000 = 40%. B's proportion is 21,000 ÷ 35,000 = 60%. Unit selling price of A and B: (110 x 0.40) + ($70 x 0.60)=86 Unit variable cost: ($70 x 0.40) + ($50 x 0.60)=58 Unit contribution margin: ($40 x 0.40) + ($20 x 0.60)=28

Dragon Sports Inc. manufactures and sells two products, baseball bats and baseball gloves. The fixed costs are $305,250, and the sales mix is 70% bats and 30% gloves. The unit selling price and the unit variable cost for each product are as follows: Products Unit Selling Price Unit Variable Cost Bats $60 $40 Gloves $125 $80 a. Compute the break-even sales (units) for the overall enterprise product, E. b. How many units of each product, baseball bats and baseball gloves, would be sold at the break-even point?

a. 11,100 units Unit Selling Price of E = ($60 × 70%) + ($125 × 30%) = $42 + $37.5 = $79.5 Unit Variable Cost of E = ($40 × 70%) + ($80 × 30%) = $28 + $24 = $52 Unit Contribution Margin of E = $79.5 - $52 = $27.5 Break-Even Sales (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Unit Contribution Margin Break-Even Sales (units) = $305,250 ÷ $27.5 = 11,100 units b. 7,770 units of baseball bats (11,100 units × 70%) 3,330 units of baseball gloves (11,100 units × 30%) Baseball Bats: 7,700 Baseball Gloves: 3,330

If the margin of safety for Canace Company was 25%, fixed costs were $1,051,875, and variable costs were 75% of sales, what was the amount of actual sales (dollars)? (Hint: Determine the break-even in sales dollars first.)

$5,610,000 The break-even point (S) is determined as follows: Break-Even Sales (dollars) = Total Fixed Costs + Total Variable Costs (at Break-Even) Break-Even Sales (dollars) = Total Fixed Costs + 75% Break-Even Sales (dollars) Break-Even Sales (dollars) = $1,051,875 + 75% Break-Even Sales (dollars) Break-Even Sales (dollars) - 75% Break-Even Sales (dollars) = $1,051,87525% Break-Even Sales (dollars) = $1,051,875 Break-Even Sales (dollars) = $4,207,500 If the margin of safety is 25%, the actual sales are determined as follows:Sales = Break-Even Sales (dollars) + (Sales × Margin of Safety) Sales (dollars) = $4,207,500 + 25% Sales Sales - 25% Sales = $4,207,500 75% Sales = $4,207,500Sales = $5,610,000

If the contribution margin ratio for Martinez Company is 57%, sales were $564,000, and fixed costs were $253,970, what was the operating income?

If Canace Company, with a break-even point at $328,000 of sales, has actual sales of $410,000, what is the margin of safety expressed (1) in dollars and (2) as a percentage of sales? Round the percentage to the nearest whole number.

(1) $82,000 (2) 20% (Sales minus sales at break-even) divided by sales equals margin of safety.

Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all costs remain constant.

a. 17,000 units Break-Even Sales (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Unit Contribution Margin Break-Even Sales (units) = $1,020,000 ÷ ($330 - $270) = 17,000 units b. 10,200 units Break-Even Sales (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Unit Contribution Margin Break-Even Sales (units) = $1,020,000 ÷ ($370 - $270) = 10,200 units

For the current year ended March 31, Cosgrove Company expects fixed costs of $616,200, a unit variable cost of $53, and a unit selling price of $79. a. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units). b. Compute the sales (units) required to realize operating income of $143,000.

a. 23,700 Break-Even Sales (units)= Fixed costs divided by the unit contribution margin equals break-even point in units. b.Compute the sales (units) required to realize operating income of $143,000. Break-Even Sales (units) = Fixed Costs/ Unit Contribution Margin = ($616,200)/ ($79 - $53) = 23,700 units b.Compute the sales (units) required to realize operating income of $143,000 Sales (units) = (Fixed Costs + Target Profit)/ Unit Contribution Margin = ($616,200 + $143,000) + ($79 - $53) = 29,200 units
