Question

Marketing Dept. of ABC Corp has Estimated the no of Widgets that must be sold to earn a Monthly Targeted Net Operating Income (NOI) of ABC Corp that produces Widgets, using the following information:

Financial Data for the Current Month

Selling Price =   $40         per widget

No of Units Sold =   20,000.00     Widgets

Manufacturing cost =$25 per widget

Fixed Cost= $250,000      

Monthly NOI Target=     $75,000                  

                                                                              

Calculation of NOI For the Current Month

Sales Revenue =                     $800,000        

- Manufacturing Cost=         $500,000        

- Fixed Cost =                           $250,000        

NOI =                                           $50,000          

NOI per Widget  = $50,000/20000= $2.50            

                                                                              

Calculation For No of Widgets that Must be  Sold   For  a  Monthly Targeted NOI  of $75,000:

Targeted NOI/NOI Per Widget = $75,000/$2.50= 30,000 Widgets

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER IS C.- NO NET OPERATING INCOME = GROSS INCOME - OPERATING EXPENSES IN THIS CASES No Widgets= 30,000 GROSS INCOME = $40 X 30000 = $1,200,000 OPERATING EXPENSES: MANUFACTURING COST = $25 x 30000= $750,000 FIXED COST= $250.000 NOI= 1,200,000 - (750,000+250,000) NOI = $200,000 VALUE OF NOI OBTAINED WITH 30,000 WIDGETS IS GREATER THAN $ 75,000 We can estimate the number of Widgets (X), as follows NOI = $75,000 GROSS INCOME = $40 (X) OPERATING EXPENSES: MANUFACTURING COST = $25 (X) FIXED COST= $250.000 THEN NET OPERATING INCOME = GROSS INCOME - OPERATING EXPENSES $75,000 = $40 (X) - ($25(X) + $250,000) $75,000 + $250,000 = $40 (X) - $25(X) $32.000= $15(X) the number of Widgets (X)= 21,667 Calculation of NOI For 21,667 Widgest GROSS INCOME = $40 X 21,667 = $866,680 OPERATING EXPENSES: MANUFACTURING COST = $25 x 21,667= $541,675 FIXED COST= $250.000 NOI= $866,680 - ($541,675+$250,000) NOI = $75005
