East Meets West Company (A)

(Breakeven)

East Meets West Company plans to start manufacturing a new compass. The firm has been able to determine that fixed costs are $20,000 per year and the variable cost is $6 per compass. The company expects to set selling price at $10 per unit.

Required:

  1. Determine the breakeven point in units and dollars.
  2. If East Meets West Company wants to earn a $15,000 profit on the sale of its compasses, find the number of units and sales revenue required to achieve this goal.

East Meets West Company (B)

(Breakeven)

East Meets West Company plans to start manufacturing a new compass. The firm has been able to determine that fixed costs are $20,000 per year and the variable cost is $6 per compass. The company expects to set selling price at $10 per unit.

Management has decided that the number calculated in (A) is not realistic. That is, demand for the compasses is not strong enough and competition is too strong to allow East Meets West company to sell 8,750 units. Instead, management wants to determine how many units would be required to achieve a profit of 15 percent of sales revenue. Notice above that variable cost is 60 percent of selling price and that management wants profit to be 15 percent of sales revenue.

Required:

1.Calculate the number of units and the sales revenue necessary to reach management’s goal.

East Meets West Company (C)

(Breakeven)

East Meets West Company plans to start manufacturing a new compass. The firm has been able to determine that fixed costs are $20,000 per year and the variable cost is $6 per compass. The company expects to set selling price at $10 per unit.

East Meets West Company is faced with $.80 per unit increase in labor cost and wants to compensate for this by decreasing its fixed cost. It decides to give up some rented space and move all of its operations into its own plant, reducing fixed cost by $2,000. At the same time management believes that increasing the selling price of each unit by $.40 will not adversely affect demand for its product, and that a target profit of $9,000 can be maintained.

Required:

  1. If all these changes are incorporated in the analysis, what is the number of units that must be produced and sold?

East Meets West Company (D)

(Breakeven)

East Meets West Company plans to start manufacturing a new compass. The firm has been able to determine that fixed costs are $20,000 per year and the variable cost is $6 per compass. The company expects to set selling price at $10 per unit.

Income taxes are a percentage of net income. East Meets West is subject to a 30 percent tax rate and management seeks an after-tax profit of $8,400.

Required:

  1. Determine the breakeven point in units and dollars.
  2. Determine the unit sales and revenue necessary to earn an after-tax income of $8,400.

East Meets West Company (E)

(Breakeven)

East Meets West Company plans to start manufacturing a new compass. The firm has been able to determine that fixed costs are $20,000 per year and the variable cost is $6 per compass. The company expects to set selling price at $10 per unit.

The company’s managers want to determine the level of operations required to earn a profit of $12,000 before taxes. They also want to know if it would be more profitable to change the method of operations by automating part of the compass assembly and eliminating some of the direct labor currently required.

The company faces two alternatives: maintain its current production operations or use the more automated production process. Selling price of the compass is $10 and East Meets West Company’s management has no plans to change the price. By changing the production process, the company would incur fixed costs of $27,500 per year and variable costs of $5 per compass.

Required:

1.Determine which of the two production alternatives is preferable by examining the margin of safety ratio for both alternatives.

S & P CORPORATION
