QUESTION 4: Kai decides to add color and keep his price the same. This will increase variable costs by $0.40 per issue. What will be the new unit volume (copies per issue) required to maintain $500 profits and cover the increased fixed and variable costs?

4. Identify all costs, other than variable costs, for the sales representatives’ distribution strategy. Categorize these costs as investments and fixed costs (per sales representative and for fiscal 2005).

11. Prepare a table that illustrates the percentage change in costs between the volume-based system and the strategic activity-based system.

Management should note that the level of activity was above what had been planned for the month. This led to an expected increase in profits of $1,100. However, the individual items on the report should not receive much management attention. The favorable variance for revenue and the unfavorable variances for expenses are entirely caused by the increase in activity.

Officer Joseph Weekly sat on the sidewalk and wept as first responders rushed 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. A lot had gone wrong as Weekly and his Detroit Special Response Team went to round up a murder suspect on Detroit’s East Side. With the camera for the true-crime program The First 48 rolling, this team was under pressure to impress. They threw a flash-bang grenade into Aiyana’s home, kicked open unlocked doors, and Weekly fired as he entered the living room (LeDuff, n.p). The bullet hit Aiyana’s head and came out through her neck. She died immediately. The bigger crisis was that the team raided the wrong house. The video for J Cole’s song “Crooked Smile” replays this event. Cole dedicated it to Aiyana’s memory and used it to ask the police to reconsider their war on drugs (Carter, n.p). In trying to meet viewer’s expectations, Weekly’s team went against procedure and used a grenade to make an arrest. This need to impress others is what Cole handles in his song, and he insists that people remain special whether they appeal to others or not. He shows how society’s demand for perfection has contributed to women’s insecurities, low self-esteem and emotional imbalance, especially for black girls who not only have to struggle to attain such standards, but must also face racial bias, discrimination, and stereotyping.

5. Determine the necessary sales in unit and dollars to break-even or attain desired profit using the break-even formula.

Assume that next year management wants the company to earn a minimum profit of $162,000. How many units be sold to meet this target profit figure? [3 points]

In our second assumption, instead of using the cost of goods per cases in 1986, we try to use the percentage it counts in the total expenses which is 50.4% and to find the sales needed to break-even. The detail of the calculation is shown in the answer for questions d. The result is that 95,635, a little bit higher than the estimated sales of 90,000.

1. The local Mastermind store sells innovative educational toys. Part of their service is giving advice to customers about the best toys for a particular age group, which requires having more customer service representatives in the store. During the month long Christmas buying season, it makes half of its $500,000 yearly sales. Its contribution margin on average is 40% and its fixed costs for the year are about $150,000. The owner believes that she could make even higher sales, if she had more customer service representatives on the floor during the peak season. She plans on hiring four more people for 200 hours each at $20 per hour. How much additional revenue does she have earn to the nearest dollar

Based on the Excel Problem of chapter one, if the total capacity for this business is 725 will you stay in it? If you want to stay in it what price you need to obtain a break even point of 725?

If Marlene Herbert were to discontinue place mats, he would miss $270,000 that will go toward Mendel paper company fixed cost. The company currently has a plant overhead that is estimated at $420,000 for the quarter. In addition to the fixed plant overhead, the plant incurs fixed selling and administrative expenses per quarter of $118,000. This draws the company to a total fixed cost of $538,000. If Marlene Herbert were to discontinue the second highest contributor to the fixed cost, he would need to increase the volume of computer paper and lower material cost to help pull the contribution margin of the lowest product up to help support the lost of a whole product line.

1.) "Revenue hours" represent the key activity that drives costs at Salem Data Services. Which expenses in Exhibit 2 are variable with respect to revenue hours? Which expenses are fixed with respect to revenue hours?

2. If the department that produces Item 345 was a profit center and if you were the manager of that department, would it be to your financial advantage to lower the price?

The revenue is $600,600*1.2= $720,720. The variable cost changes as sales increases and fixed cost stays the same, the gross profit is $175,500. After tax, the net income is $100,557.

To perform a break-even analysis, we have made the following assumptions: (a) retail margin= 60%, (b) the additional fixed cost of production per flavor, including advertising, bottling run and sundries, is $10 million and this is assumed to be an annual cost, except the bottling run, (c) a conservative estimate of percentage share of market figure is derived by multiplying the market segment percentages, as well as the age segment percentage for the category > 40 yrs. The percentage = 74% x 62% x 85% x 40% = 16%. We first determine the retail
