Answer to Problem 11B.1E

The overall spending variance of $19000 shows that the costs incurred in excess of the budget $0.25 per ton variable cost and budget $300,000 in fixed cost $19000 uncharged cost is the responsibility of the transport service department.

Explanation of Solution

Total variable costs charges by both the plants are $45,000 ($32,500 + $12,500) and fixed cost to both the plants are $300,000 ($210,000 + $90,000).

Total charges to both the plants are $345,000

  ($45,000(Variablecharge)+$300,000(fixedcharge))

The total actual cost incurred is $364,000

The remaining cost $19000 ( $64,000$345,000 )

The overall spending variance of $19000 shows that the costs incurred in excess of the budget $0.25 per ton variable cost and budget $300,000 in fixed cost $19000 uncharged cost is the responsibility of the transport service department.

E6.5 (LO 1), AP Carey Company had sales in 2021 of $1,500,000 on 60,000 units. Variable costs totaled $900,000, and fixed costs totaled $500,000. A new raw material is available that will decrease the unit variable costs by 20% (or $3). However, to process the new raw material, fixed operating costs will increase by $100,000. Management feels that one-half of the decline in the unit variable costs should be passed on to customers in the form of a sales price reduction. The marketing department expects that this sales price reduction will result in a 5% increase in the number of units sold. Instructions Prepare a projected CVP income statement for 2022 (a) assuming the changes have not been made, and (b) assuming that changes are made as described. Compute break-even point in sales units for a company with more than one product.
