Applying Cost Accounting Concepts to analyze and Estimate costs 2 1. Analyze the data and your results. Explain your reasons for supporting or rejecting your cost equation. Show all calculations. There are a variety of delivery services that each company provides. Management is seeking the volume of a specific delivery that generates a pre-tax amount of $11,000 per month in operating profit. Overhead costs are estimated at $9,900 monthly for fixed costs and $12 for each delivery for variable expenses. The company should use regression analysis to evaluate its data. The monthly overhead is $26,501+ $10.70 per delivery based on the analysis of the volume of deliveries that would generate $11,000 per month in operating profits prior to taxes. If the company charges $22 for each delivery and the variable cost is $12 for each delivery, the contribution margin is $10. The contribution margin to calculate the number of deliveries required to generate $11,000 in operating profits: Number of deliveries = Operating profit / Contribution margin Number of deliveries = $11,000 / $10 Number of deliveries = 1,100 The company would need to have 1,100 monthly deliveries in order to generate the pre- taxed amount of $11,000 in operating profits.
