Sales | $ | 3,280,000 | |
Variable costs | 820,000 | ||
Fixed costs | 2,310,000 | ||
Management is considering relocating its manufacturing facilities to northern Mexico to reduce costs. Variable costs are expected to average $18.00 per set; annual fixed costs are anticipated to be $1,986,000. (In the following requirements, ignore income taxes.)
ANSWER:
(A)
Current income,
Sales Less: variable cost |
$3280000 $820000 |
---|---|
Contribution margin Less: fixed cost |
$2460000 $2310000 |
Net income | $150000 |
(B)
Desired net income = $150000 x 2 = $300000
We need such break even point (sales dollar) which will cover both fixed cost and desired net income,
Therefore in computing break even point (sales dollar) for our convenience lets take,
revised fixed cost = fixed cost + desired net income
= $2310000 + $300000 = $2610000
Contribution margin ratio = contribution margin/sales
= ($2460000/$3280000) x 100 = 75%
Therefore,
Break even point (units) = revised fixed cost/contribution margin per unit
= $2610000/75%
= $3480000
(C)
If operations are shifted to Mexico,
Contribution margin per unit = ($3280000/40000) - $18
= $82 - $18 = $64
And, fixed costs = $1986000
Therefore,
Break even point (units) = $1986000/$64
= 31031 units
(D)
Option 1,
Break even point (units) = fixed cost/contribution margin per unit
31031 units = fixed cost/$61.5
Therefore,
Fixed cost = 31031 x $61.5 = $1908406.5
Where, contribution margin per unit in United States = $2460000/40000 = $61.5
Option 2,
31031 units = $2310000/contribution margin per unit
Therefore,
Contribution margin per unit = $2310000/31031 = $74.44
Therefore,
Variable cost per unit = selling price per unit - contribution margin per unit
= $82 - $74.44
= $7.56
