Exam 5: Cost-Volume-Profit Relationships

Creswell Corporation's fixed monthly expenses are $30,000 and its contribution margin ratio is 63%. Assuming that the fixed monthly expenses do not change, what is the best estimate of the company's net operating income in a month when sales are $92,000?

A quick look at a scattergraph of cost versus activity can reveal that there is little relation between the cost and the activity or that the relation is something other than a simple straight line. In such cases, least square regression is highly recommended for estimating fixed and variable costs.

Rachal Corporation produces and sells a single product whose selling price is $150.00 per unit and whose variable expense is $57.00 per unit. The company's monthly fixed expense is $381,300.Required:a. Assume the company's monthly target profit is $9,300. Determine the unit sales to attain that target profit.b. Assume the company's monthly target profit is $18,600. Determine the dollar sales to attain that target profit.

Carver Corporation produces a product which sells for $40. Variable manufacturing costs are $18 per unit. Fixed manufacturing costs are $5 per unit based on the current level of sales volume, and fixed selling and administrative costs are $4 per unit. A selling commission of 15% of the selling price is paid on each unit sold. The contribution margin per unit is:

Schister Systems uses the following data in its Cost-Volume-Profit analyses: What is total contribution margin if sales volume increases by 20%?

Black Corporation's sales are $600,000, its fixed expenses are $150,000, and its variable expenses are 60% of sales. The margin of safety is:

Larker Brothers, Incorporated, used the high-low method to derive its cost formula for electrical power cost. According to the cost formula, the variable cost per unit of activity is $4 per machine-hour. Total electrical power cost at the high level of activity was $19,200 and at the low level of activity was $18,400. If the high level of activity was 3,300 machine hours, then the low level of activity was:

Hiss Corporation's activity for the last six months is as follows: Using the high-low method of analysis, the estimated fixed cost per month for electricity is closest to: (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

Jorgenson Corporation has provided the following data for the first five months of the year: Using the least-squares regression method of analysis, the estimated variable lubrication cost per machine hour is closest to:

Flesch Corporation produces and sells two products. In the most recent month, Product C90B had sales of $27,520 and variable expenses of $6,880. Product Y45E had sales of $31,160 and variable expenses of $17,138. The fixed expenses of the entire company were $23,600. If the sales mix were to shift toward Product C90B with total dollar sales remaining constant, the overall break-even point for the entire company:
