Chapter 10, Problem 26QP
Break-Even Cost [LO2] The previous problem suggests that using CFLs instead of incandescent bulbs is a no-brainer. However, electricity costs actually vary quite a bit depending on location and user type (you can get information on your rates from your local power company). An industrial user in West Virginia might pay $.04 per kilowatt-hour whereas a residential user in Hawaii might pay $.25. What’s the breakeven cost per kilowatt-hour in Problem 25?

A clothing manufacturer is considering whether to add hoodies to its range of products. The hoodies would sell for $45 each and the company expects to sell 10,000 units per year. Selling hoodies, however, would cause sales of conventional jumpers to decrease by 1,000 units per year. The jumpers sell for $43 per unit. The variable costs of production are $25 per unit for hoodies and $20 per unit for jumpers. If the company adds hoodies to its range of products, fixed costs will increase by $56,000 per year and annual depreciation will increase by $21,000. What is the incremental operating cash flow from selling hoodies, if the corporate tax rate is 30%?

Q1)
Break-even analysis (LO2) Eaton Tool Company has fixed costs of $255,000, sells its units for $66, and has variable costs of $36 per unit.
Compute the break-even point.
Ms. Eaton comes up with a new plan to cut fixed costs to $200,000. However, more labor will now be required, which will increase variable costs per unit to $39. The sales price will remain at $66. What is the new break-even point?
Under the new plan, what is likely to happen to profitability at very high volume levels (compared to the old plan)?

- If this is the Overall break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = $16,650,000 / 64.74% = $25,718,257 approx And if the sales commission increases to 15%, the variable costs will increase thereby the contribution margin will decrease. This will also decrease the contribution margin ratio. When the contribution margin ratio decreases, the break-even point will increase, and when the break-even point increases the margin of safety will decrease. What happens: If Mirabel purchases the new equipment for $1,200,000, it will increase fixed costs by 10% but will decrease the variable cost per unit for all 3 models by 5%. What will Mirabel’s new break-even point be? If Mirabel invests the additional $650,000 in fixed marketing expenses, sales of the Model 301 are expected to increase by 8%.

Insulated concrete forms (ICF) can be used as a substitute for conventional wood framing in building construction. Heating and cooling bills will be about 50% less than in a similar wood-framed building in upstate New York. An ICF home will be approximately 10% more expensive to construct than a wood-framed home. For a typical 2,000 ft2 home costing $120 per ft2 to construct in upstate New York and costing $200 per month to heat and cool, how many months does it take for a 2,000 ft2 ICF home to pay back its extraconstruction cost?arrow_forwardCompute the Break-Even Point [LO5–5] Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $15 and whose variable expense is $12 per unit.

You have two choices: the Kia Rio, which will cost $16,500 to purchase and which will have OCF of −$1,700 annually throughout the vehicle’s expected life of three years as a delivery vehicle; and the Toyota Prius, which will cost $24,000 to purchase and which will have OCF of −$900 annually throughout that vehicle’s expected 4-year life. Both cars will be worthless at the end of their life. If you intend to replace whichever type of car you choose with the same thing when its life runs out, again and again out into the foreseeable future. If the business has a cost of capital of 13 percent, calculate the EAC. Note: Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Instead of sales of 110,000 boxes of tubes, revised estimates show a sales volume of 150,000 boxes of tubes. At this higher sales volume, Silven would need to rent extra equipment at a cost of $60,000 per year to make the additional 40,000 boxes of tubes. Assuming that the outside supplier will not accept an order for less than 150,000 boxes of tubes, what is the financial advantage (disadvantage) in total (not per box) if Silven buys 150,000 boxes of tubes from the outside supplier? Given this new information, should Silven Industries make or buy the tubes? 7. Refer to the data in Required 6. Assume that the outside supplier will accept an order of any size for the tubes at a price of $1.70 per box. How many boxes of tubes should Silven make? How many boxes of tubes should it buy from the outside supplier?arrow_forward
