Concept introduction:
Break-Even Point: The level of sales at which profits are zero refers to break-even point. In other words, it is the point where total revenue equals total cost and total contribution margin equals total fixed cost.
Requirement 1a:
To compute:
The break-even point in sales units for Hip-Hop Co. that manufactures and markets several products.

Requirement 1b:
To compute:

- Hudson Corporation is considering three options for managing its data warehouse: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing, or using a combination of its own staff and an outside vendor. The cost of the operation depends on future demand. The annual cost of each option (in thousands of dollars) depends on demand as follows: If the demand probabilities are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, which decision alternative will minimize the expected cost of the data warehouse? What is the expected annual cost associated with that recommendation? Construct a risk profile for the optimal decision in part (a). What is the probability of the cost exceeding $700,000?arrow_forwardFlanders Manufacturing is considering purchasing a new machine that will reduce variable costs per part produced by $0.15. The machine will increase fixed costs by $18,250 per year. The information they will use to consider these changes is shown here.arrow_forwardBoxer Production, Inc., is in the process of considering a flexible manufacturing system that will help the company react more swiftly to customer needs. The controller, Mick Morrell, estimated that the system will have a 10-year life and a required return of 10% with a net present value of negative $500,000. Nevertheless, he acknowledges that he did not quantify the potential sales increases that might result from this improvement on the issue of on-time delivery, because it was too difficult to quantify. If there is a general agreement that qualitative factors may offer an additional net cash flow of $150,000 per year, how should Boxer proceed with this Investment?arrow_forward

The projected net income for the current year is $200,000 based on a sales volume of 200,000 video disks. Disk City has been selling the disks for $16 each. The variable costs consist of the $10 unit purchase price of the disks and a handling cost of $2 per disk. Disk City’s annual fixed costs are $600,000. Management is planning for the coming year, when it expects that the unit purchase price of the video disks will increase 30 percent. (Ignore income taxes.).

For the last year (Year 1), the price, costs, and volume of the part were as follows: Unit price Unit variable cost Annual fixed cost Sales volume Managers at Littlefield believe that next year (Year 2), conditions in the industry will result in lower prices, both for the part they sell and the materials they purchase. Their best estimates at this time are that the selling price will decline by 10 percent while the unit variable cost will decline by 5 percent, taking into account the changes in both materials and labor. They believe that fixed costs will remain the same. $ 60 $ 40 Required: a. What was the break-even volume in number of units last year (Year 1)? b.
