As a result, for the year ended December 31, the .sales increased by 31,875 from the planned level of 1,048,125. The following information is available from the accounting records for the year ended December 31. A. Prepare an analysis of the sales quantity and unit price factors. B.

Variable costing income statement and effect on income of change in operations Kimbrell Inc. manufacture three sizes of utility tablessmall (S), medium (M), and large (L). The income statement has consistently indicated a net loss for the M size, and management is considering three proposals: (1) continue Size M, (2) discontinue Size M and reduce total output accordingly, or (3) discontinue Size M and conduct an advertising campaign to expand the sales of Size S so that the entire plant capacity can continue to be used. If Proposal 2 is selected and Size M is discontinued and production curtailed, the annual fixed production costs and fixed operating expenses could be reduced by 142,500 and 28,350. respectively. If Proposal 3 is selected, it is anticipated that an additional annual expenditure of 85,050 for the salary of an assistant brand manager (classified as a fixed operating expense) would yield an additional 130% in Size S sales volume. It is also assumed that the increased production of Size S would utilize the plant facilities released by the discontinuance of Size M. The sales and costs have been relatively stable over the past few years, and they are expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. The income statement for the past year ended December 31, 20Y8, is as follows: Instructions 1. Prepare an income statement for the past year in the variable costing format. Use the following headings: Size S M L Total Data for each style should be reported through contribution margin. The fixed costs should lie deducted from the total contribution margin, as reported in the Total" column, to determine income from operations. 2. Based on the income statement prepared in (1) and the other data presented above, determine the amount by which total annual income from operations would be reduced below its present level if Proposal 2 is accepted. 3. Prepare an income statement in the variable costing format, indicating the projected annual income from operations if Proposal 3 is accepted. Use the following headings: Size S L Total Data for each style should be reported through contribution margin. The fixed costs should lie deducted from the total contribution margin as reported in the "Total" column. For purposes of this problem, the additional expenditure of 85,050 for the assistant brand manager's salary can be added to the fixed operating expenses. 4. By how much would total annual income increase above its present level if Proposal 3 is accepted? Explain.

(Appendix 11A) Cycle Time, Velocity, Conversion Cost The theoretical cycle time for a product is 30 minutes per unit. The budgeted conversion costs for the manufacturing cell are 2,700,000 per year. The total labor minutes available are 600,000. During the year, the cell was able to produce 1.5 units of the product per hour. Suppose also that production incentives exist to minimize unit product costs. Required: 1. Compute the theoretical conversion cost per unit. 2. Compute the applied conversion cost per unit (the amount of conversion cost actually assigned to the product). 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Discuss how this approach to assigning conversion costs can improve delivery time performance.

Contribution margin reporting and analysis for a service company The management of East Coast Railroad Company introduced in Exercise 20 improved the profitability of the Atlanta/Baltimore route in May by reducing the price of a railcar from 600 to 500. This price reduction increased the demand for rail services. Thus, the number of railcars increased by 275 railcars to a total of 700 railcars. This was accomplished by increasing the size of each train but not the number of trains. Thus, the number of train-miles was unchanged. All the activity rates remained unchanged. A. Prepare a contribution margin report for the Atlanta/Baltimore route for May. Calculate the contribution margin ratio in percentage terms to one decimal place. B. Prepare a contribution margin analysis to evaluate managements actions in May. Assume that the May planned quantity, price, and unit cost were the same as April.
