Preparing Contribution Margin Income Statement, Analyzing Break-Even Point Degree of Operating Leverage

StaySafe Company produces one security door model. A partially complete table of its costs follows:

Number of doors produced and sold Total costs

400

500

700

Variable costs

$30,000

$ ?

$ ?

Fixed costs per year

65,000

?

?

Total costs

95,000

?

?

Cost per unit

Variable cost per unit

?

?

?

Fixed cost per unit

?

?

?

Total cost per unit

?

?

?

Required:

1.Complete the table.


2.StaySafe sells its doors for $200 each. Prepare a contribution margin income statement for each of the three production levels in the table.


3.Based on these three statements (and without any additional calculations), estimate Stay- Safe’s break-even point in units.


4.Calculate StaySafe’s break-even point in number of units and in sales dollars.


5.Assume StaySafe sold 600 doors last year. Without performing any calculations, determine whether it earned a profit last year.


6.Calculate the number of doors that StaySafe must sell to earn a $10,000 profit.


7.Calculate StaySafe’s degree of operating leverage if it sells 700 doors.


8.Using the degree of operating leverage, calculate the change in StaySafe’s profit if sales are 20 percent more than expected. (Assume costs did not change.)
