- Required:
-
Round your answers to the nearest hundredth of a percent and nearest dollar where appropriate. (An example for percentage calculations is 0.434532 = 0.4345 = 43.45 percent; an example for dollar calculations is $378.9787 = $379.)
- Using the information provided, prepare a contribution margin income statement for the month similar to the one in Figure 6.5 "Income Statement for Amy's Accounting Service".
- Calculate the weighted average contribution margin ratio.
- Find the break-even point in sales dollars.
- What amount of sales dollars is required to earn a monthly profit of $540,000?

33.CVP Sensitivity Analysis (Single Product). Bridgeport Company has monthly fixed costs totaling $200,000 and variable costs of $40 per unit. Each unit of product is sold for $50. Bridgeport expects to sell 30,000 units each month (this is the base case).
Required:
For each of the independent situations in requirements b through d, assume that the number of units sold remains at 30,000.
a.Prepare a contribution margin income statement for the base case.
b.Refer to the base case. What would the operating profit be if the unit sales price increases 10 percent?
c.Refer to the base case. What would the operating profit be if the unit variable cost decreases 20 percent?
d.Refer to the base case. What would the operating profit be if total fixed costs decrease 20 percent?22.Make-or-Buy Decision. Coffee Mugs, Inc., currently manufactures ceramic coffee mugs. Management is interested in outsourcing production to a reputable manufacturing company that can supply the cups for $2 per unit. Coffee Mugs produces 100,000 mugs each year. Variable production costs are $0.80 and annual fixed costs are $150,000. If production is outsourced, all variable costs and 40 percent of annual fixed costs will be eliminated.
Perform differential analysis using the format presented in Figure 7.2 "Make-or-Buy Differential Analysis for Best Boards, Inc." and explain which alternative is best, Alternative 1 (producing internally) or Alternative 2 (outsourcing).
24.Customer Decision. Consulting Group LLC has two customers. Customer One generates $150,000 in income afterdirect fixed costs are deducted, and Customer Two generates $200,000 in income after direct fixed costs are deducted.Allocated fixed costs total $300,000 and are assigned 30 percent to Customer One and 70 percent to Customer Two based on several different cost drivers. Total allocated fixed costs remain the same regardless of how these costs are assigned to customers.
Calculate the amount of allocated fixed costs to be assigned to each customer, and determine the profit or loss for each customer. Should Consulting Group drop Customer Two? Explain.
