Exercise 11-12 In 2016, Bridgeport Company had a break-even point of $530,000 based on a selling price of $10 per unit and fixed costs of $185,500. In 2017, the selling price and the variable costs per unit did not change, but the break-even point increased to $590,000. Compute the variable costs per unit and the contribution margin ratio for 2016. (Round Variable cost per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25 and Contribution margin ratio to 0 decimal places, e.g. 20.) Variable costs per unit $ Contribution margin ratio % Compute the increase in fixed costs for 2017. Increase in fixed cost

Appendix Absorption costing income statement On June 30, the end of the first month of operations, Tudor Manufacturing Co. prepared the following income statement, based on the variable existing concept: Sales (420,000 units) 7,450,000 Variable cost of goods sold: Variable cost of goods manufactured (500,000 units x 14 per unit) 7,000,000 Less ending inventory (80,000 units x 14 per unit) 1,120,000 Variable cost of goods sold 5,880,000 Manufacturing margin 1,570,000 Variable selling and administrative expenses 80,000 Contribution margin 1,490,000 Fixed costs: Fixed manufacturing costs 160,000 Fixed selling and administrative expenses 75,000 235,000 Income from operations 1,255,000 a.

Bolger and Co. manufactures large gaskets for the turbine industry. Bolgers per-unit sales price and variable costs for the current year are as follows: Bolgers total fixed costs aggregate to 360,000. Bolgers labor agreement is expiring at the end of the year, and management is concerned about the effects of a new labor agreement on its break-even point in units. The controller performed a sensitivity analysis to ascertain the estimated effect of a 10-per-unit direct labor increase and a 10,000 reduction in fixed costs. Based on these data, the break-even point would: a. decrease by 1,000 units. b. decrease by 125 units. c. increase by 375 units. d. increase by 500 units.
