Angie Silva bas recently opened The Sandal Shop in Brisbane, Australia, a store that specializes in fashionable sandals. In time, she hopes to open a chain of sandal shops as a first step, she has gathered the following data for her new store:
Required:
1. What is the break-even point in unit sales and dollar sales?
2. Prepare a CVP graph or a profit graph for the store from zero pairs up to 4.000 pairs of sandals sold each sear. Indicate the break-even point on your graph.
3. Angie has decided that she must earn a profit of $18,000 the first year to justify her time and effort. How many pairs of sandals must be sold to attain this target profit?
4. Angie now has two salespersons working in the store−one full time and one part time. It will cost her an additional 58,000 per veer to convert the part-time position to a full-time position. Angie believes that the change would increase annual sales by $25,000. Should she convert the position’ Use the incremental approach. (Do not prepare an income statement.)
5. Refer to the original data. During the first year, the store sold only 3,000 pairs of sandals and reported the following operating results:
a. What is the store’s degree of operating leverage?
b. Angie is confident that with a more intense sales effort and with a more creative advertising program she can increase sales by 50% next year. Using the degree of operating Ieverage, bat would be the expected percentage increase in net operating income if Angieis able to increase sales by 50%?

A local company requires a consistent quantity of a commodity and is looking for a reliable supplier. You could become that reliable supplier. The cost of the commodity is expected to rise steadily over the foreseeable future, but the company is willing to pay more than the price that is current at the time. All you would need to do is make an investment, purchase the inventory and then deliver inventory to the company over the following year. One complication is that the commodity is available for purchase only seasonally, so at the end of every year you would need to purchase the supply for the following year. The customer pays promptly on delivery. An initial cash investment of $62,000 would be used to purchase $50,000 of inventory in December 2019. The remaining cash would be held for liquidity needs. In the following year, you would deliver this inventory to the customer.…arrow_forward

- Break-even Analysis Example Imagine that you want to launch a new business selling a smartphone app. You make the following assumptions about your costs and revenue. The expected average selling price = $7. Estimated fixed costs = $75,000 (this is enough to cover your salary and pay for a small office). These costs will not change with the number of apps sold. Variable costs = $0.50 (these are the transaction fees you need to pay on each sale). (1) Armed with this information, calculate the break-even point in units: (2) To earn a profit of 5%, how many units do you need to sell? (3) What if you were able to reduce the estimated fixed cost to $65,000, what would your new break-even be in units? (4) What if you missed the mark on variable costs and the actual variable costs are $1.15, what would your break-even be in units?arrow_forward6.
