Break-even analysis Somerset Inc. has finished a new video game, Snowboard Challenge. Management is now considering its marketing strategies. The following information is available: Anticipated vales price per unit................ 80 Variable cost per unit......................... 35 Anticipated volume........................... 1,000,000 units Production costs.............................. 20,000,000 Anticipated advertising........................ 15,000,000 Two managers, James Hamilton and Thomas Seymour, had the following discussion of ways to increase the profitability of this new offering: James: I think we need to think of some way to increase our profitability. Do you have any ideas? Thomas: Well. I think the best strategy would be to become aggressive on price. James: How aggressive? James: lf we drop the price to 60 per unit and maintain our advertising budget at 15,000,000. I think we will generate total sales of 2,000,000 units. James: I think that's the wrong way to go. You're giving up too much on price. Instead, I think we need to follow an aggressive advertising strategy. Thomas: How aggressive? James: If we increase our advertising to a total of 25,000,000, we should be able to increase sales volume to 1,400,000 units without any change in price. Thomas: l dont think that's reasonable. We'll never cover the increased advertising costs. Which strategy is best: Do nothing, follow the advice of Thomas Seymour, orb follow James Hamilton's strategy?
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.
