Better Battery has been in the battery renewal business for four years. It rents a building but owns all of its equipment. All employees are paid a fixed salary except for the busy season (April - June), when temporary help is hired by the hour. Utilities and other operating charges remain fairly constant during each month, except those in the busy season. Selling prices per battery average $100, except during the busy season. Because a large number of customers buy batteries prior to winter, discounts run above average during the busy season. A 15 percent discount is given when two batteries are purchased at one time. During the busy months selling prices per battery average $90. The president of Better Battery is somewhat displeased with the company's management accounting system because the cost behaviour pattern displayed by the monthly break-even charts are inconsistent; the busy months' charts are different from the other months of the year. The president is never sure if the company has a satisfactory margin of safety or if it is just above the break-even point. Required: a. What is wrong with the accountant's computations? b. How can the information be presented in a better format for the president?
