the expected contribution margin ratio.
2.
Explanation of Solution
Determine the expected contribution margin ratio.
Sales =$2,880,000 (1)
Variable cost =$1,152,000 (9)
Working note:
Determine the variable cost.
Number of units to be sold =12,000 units
Variable cost per unit =$96 per unit
Therefore, the expected contribution margin ratio is 60%.
3.
the break-even sales in units and dollars.
3.
Explanation of Solution
Determine the break-even sales in units.
Fixed cost =$1,152,000
Contribution margin per unit =$144 per unit (10)
Working note:
Compute the contribution margin per unit.
Selling price per unit =$240 per unit
Variable cost per unit =$96 per unit
Determine the break-even sales in dollars.
Fixed cost =$1,152,000
Contribution margin ratio =60% (refer Part 2)
Therefore, the break-even sales in units is 8,000 units and dollars is $1,920,000.

To construct: a cost-volume-profit chart indicating the break-even sales.
4.
Answer to Problem 19.6BPR
Construct a cost-volume-profit chart indicating the break-even sales.
Figure (1)
Explanation of Solution
The volume in units of sales is shown on the horizontal axis. The maximum relevant range is 18,000 units. The sales and the total costs (fixed cost and variable cost) in dollars is shown on the vertical axis. The maximum relevant range of sales and total costs is $4,500,000.
The total sales line is drawn right upward by connecting the first point at $0 to the second point at $4,320,000
The total cost line is drawn right upward by connecting the first point at $1,152,000 (fixed cost) on the vertical axis to the second point at
The break-even point is the intersection point where the total sales line and total cost line meet. The vertical dotted line drawn downward from the intersection point reaches at 8,000 units. It indicates the break-even sales (units). The horizontal line drawn to the left towards the vertical axis reaches at $1,920,000. It indicates the break-even sales (dollars). Refer Part 3 for the break-even values.
The operating profit area is the area where the total sales line exceeds the total cost line. However, the operating loss area is the area where the total cost exceeds the total sales line.
5.
the expected margin of safety in dollars and as a percentage of sales.
5.
Explanation of Solution
Determine the expected margin of safety in dollars.
Sales =$2,880,000 (1)
Sales at break-even point =$1,920,000 (refer Part 3)
Determine the expected margin of safety as a percentage of sales.
Sales =$2,880,000 (1)
Margin of Safety in dollars =$960,000
Therefore, the expected margin of safety in dollars is $960,000 and as a percentage of sales is 33.3%.
6.
the operating leverage.
6.
Explanation of Solution
Determine the operating leverage.
Contribution margin =$1,728,000 (11)
Income from operations =$576,000 (refer Table 1)
Working note:
Determine the contribution margin
Sales =$2,880,000 (1)
Variable cost =$1,152,000 (9)
Therefore, the operating leverage is 3.

Financial & Managerial Accounting
- Contribution margin, break-even sales, cost-volume-profit chart, margin of safety, and operating leverage Belmain Co. expects to maintain the same inventories at the end of 20Y7 as at the beginning of the year. The total of all production costs for the year is therefore assumed to be equal to the cost of goods sold. With this in mind, the various department heads were asked to submit estimates of the costs for their departments during the year. A summary report of these estimates is as follows: It is expected that 12,000 units will be sold at a price of 240 a unit. Maximum sales within the relevant range are 18,000 units. Instructions 1. Prepare an estimated income statement for 20Y7. 2. What is the expected contribution margin ratio? 3. Determine the break-even sales in units and dollars. 4. Construct a cost-volume-profit chart indicating the break-even sales. 5. What is the expected margin of safety in dollars and as a percentage of sales? (Round to one decimal place.) 6.

Three value streams were established: one for new product development and two order fulfillment value streams. One of the value streams set a goal to increase its ROS to 45% of sales by the end of the year. During the year, the value stream made significant improvements in several areas. The Box Scorecard below was prepared, with performance measures for the beginning of the year, midyear, and end of year. Although the members of the value stream were pleased with their progress, they were disappointed in the financial results. They were still far from the targeted ROS of 45%. They were also puzzled as to why the improvements made did not translate into significantly improved financial performance. Required: 1. From the scorecard, what was the focus of the value-stream team for the first 6 months? The second 6 months? What are the implications of these changes? 2. Using information from the scorecard, offer an explanation for why the financial results were not as good as expected.arrow_forward
