Question

I need help with this managerial accounting. The problem is uploaded in a jpeg image file. I'm having trouble with both question 1 and 2 on all parts. The biggest trouble I'm having is what is considered to be variable selling expense, variable administrative expense, fixed selling expense and fixed administrative expense.

Using the above information prepare an income statement in the contribution format 2. Compute the: a. contrubution margin per unit b. contribution margin ratio c. breakeven point in units and dollars- show your formulas d. degree of operating leverage e. margin of safety as a percent and in dollars f. dollar sales and units required to increase operating income g, from your answer in item d, what would be the result of a 5% Decrease in Sales; a 5% increase in sales

Explanation / Answer

The Format of income statement under contribution format is:

Sales                                                                     XXXX                    

         Less: Variable Cost                              (XXX)

Contribution                                                      XXX

         Less : Fixed Cost                                      (XXX)

Net income                                                       XXX

Now let us find out the what are the Variable Costs and Variable Costs and Semi Variable and formulate

Now Let us bifurcate the semi variable into variable and fixed

QTR 1=     $ 21,500 for 3,500 units

QTR 2 =   $     26,500 for 4,500 units

Using High Low method=$26,500-$21,500/(4,500-3,500)=$5 per unit

Hence fixed cost = Total cost @ 3,500 units- Variable cost for 3,500 units

                                =$21,500-(3,500 x 5)

                                  =$21,500-$17,500=$4,000

2. Utilities

QTR 1=     $ 9,000 for 3,500 units

QTR 2 =   $     11,000 for 4,500 units

Using High Low method=$11,000-$9,000/(4,500-3,500)=$2 per unit

Hence fixed cost = Total cost @ 3,500 units- Variable cost for 3,500 units

                                =$9,000-(3,500 x 2)

                                  =$9,000-$7,000=$2,000

3. Office Supplies

QTR 1=     $ 3,800 for 3,500 units

QTR 2 =   $   4,800 for 4,500 units

Using High Low method=$4,800-$3,800/(4,500-3,500)=$1 per unit

Hence fixed cost = Total cost @ 3,500 units- Variable cost for 3,500 units

                                =$3,800-(3,500 x 1)

                                  =$3,800-$3,500=$300

4. Other

QTR 1=     $ 8,500 for 3,500 units

QTR 2 =   $ 10,500 for 4,500 units

Using High Low method=$10,500-$8,500/(4,500-3,500)=$2 per unit

Hence fixed cost = Total cost @ 3,500 units- Variable cost for 3,500 units

                                =$8,500-(3,500 x 2)

                                  =$8,500-$7,000=$1,500

2.

a.Contribution Margin Per Unit= Total contribution/ No of units=$2,079,000 /21,000

                                                     =$44

B .Contribution Margin Ratio=$44/$100 x 100=44%

c. Break Even Point in units= Fixed cost/Contribution per unit=$725,200/$44=16,482 unitts

Break even Sales=Fixed cost/Contribution Margin Ratio=$725,200/44%=$ 1,648,181.82

d. Degree of Operating Leverage= Contribution/ Operating income =

                                                           =$      924,000 /$      198,800 =4.64788

         

e. Margin of Safety= Total sales- Break even sales=$   2,100,000 -   1,648,181.82 =$   451,818.18

f.Operating Income increase by 25%

i.e 198,800+ 25% of 198,800=$ 248,500

Desired sales in $= target profit+ fixed cost/ contribution margin ratio

                               = $248,500 + $ 725,200 /44%

                                =         973,700 /44$

                                =$   2,212,954.55

Sales in units=$   2,212,954.55 /100=   22,129.55 units

g.5 % decrease in sales=New Contribution / New operating Profit=

                                            =         921,690 /         196,490=4.69077307

5% increase in sales= New Contribution / New operating Profit=

                                      =             970,200 /             245,000 = 3.96
