Concept Introduction:
Cost Volume Profit (CVP) Analysis:
The Cost Volume Profit analysis is the analysis of the relation between cost, volume, and profit of a product. It analyzes the cost and profits at the different level of production, in order to determine the breakeven point and required the level of sales to earn the desired profit.
Contribution margin means the margin that is left with the company after recovering variable cost out of revenue earned by selling smart phones.
The formula for contribution margin is as follows:
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost.
Similarly contribution margin ratio = Contribution/sales
To Calculate:
The Cost amount per unit, the markup %, and the selling price per unit using the product cost

- Product pricing using the cost-plus approach methods; differential analysis for accepting additional business Crystal Displays Inc. recently began production of a new product, flat panel displays, which required the investment of 1,500,000 in assets. The costs of producing and selling 5,000 units of flat panel displays are estimated as follows: Crystal Displays Inc. is currently considering establishing a selling price for flat panel displays. The president of Crystal Displays has decided to use the cost-plus approach to product pricing and has indicated that the displays must earn a 15% return on invested assets. Instructions 1. Determine the amount of desired profit from the production and sale of flat panel displays. 2. Assuming that the product cost method is used, determine (A) the cost amount per unit, (B) the markup percentage, and (C) the selling price of flat panel displays. 3. (Appendix) Assuming that the total cost method is used, determine (A) the cost amount per unit, (B) the markup percentage (rounded to two decimal places), and (C) the selling price of flat panel displays. (Round markup to nearest whole dollar.) 4. (Appendix) Assuming that the variable cost method is used, determine (A) the cost amount per unit, (B) the markup percentage (rounded to two decimal places), and (C) the selling price of flat panel displays. (Round markup to nearest whole dollar.) 5. Comment on any additional considerations that could influence establishing the selling price for flat panel displays. 6. Assume that as of August 1, 3,000 units of flat panel displays have been produced and sold during the current year. Analysis of the domestic market indicates that 2,000 additional units are expected to be sold during the remainder of the year at the normal product price determined under the product cost method. On August 3, Crystal Displays Inc. received an offer from Maple Leaf Visual Inc. for 800 units of flat panel displays at 225 each. Maple Leaf Visual Inc. will market the units in Canada under its own brand name, and no variable selling and administrative expenses associated with the sale will be incurred by Crystal Displays Inc. The additional business is not expected to affect the domestic sales of flat panel displays, and the additional units could be produced using existing factory, selling, and administrative capacity. A. Prepare a differential analysis of the proposed sale to Maple Leaf Visual Inc. B. Based on the differential analysis in part (A), should the proposal be accepted?arrow_forwardFinancial and Nonfinancial Aspects of Changing to JIT IntelliTalk manufactures smart phones. It is considering the implementation of a JIT system. Costs to reconfigure the production line will amount to 200,000 annually. Estimated benefits from the change to JIT are as follows: The quality advantages of JIT should reduce current rework cost of 300,000 by 25%. Materials storage, handling, and insurance costs of 250,000 would be reduced by an estimated 40%. Average inventory is expected to decline by 300,000 units, and the carrying cost per unit is .35. Required: 1. What is the estimated financial advantage or disadvantage of changing to a JIT system? 2. Are there any nonfinancial advantages or disadvantages of changing to a JIT system?arrow_forwardDecision on accepting additional business A manager of Varden Sporting Goods Company is considering accepting an order from an overseas customer. This customer has requested an order for 20,000 dozen golf balls at a price of 22 per dozen. The variable cost to manufacture a dozen golf balls is 18 per dozen. The full cost is 25 per dozen. Varden has a normal selling price of 35 per dozen. Vardens plant has just enough excess capacity on the second shift to make the overseas order. What are some considerations in accepting or rejecting this order?arrow_forward
