Problem 6 SOLUTION:
Selected operating data for three businesses are shown below with some numbers missing, fill the blank:
Sales Variable Fixed Net Income Units Contribution
expenses expenses (loss) sold margin
A $120,000 $40,000 $70,000 $10,000 20,000 $4
B $55,000 $30,000 $15,000 $10,000 500 $50
C 100,000 $60,000 $52,000 ($12,000) 2,500 $16
Problem 7 SOLUTION:
The difference between the total unit of sales and the total costs will help in identifying the actual variable
cost per unit since the overhead is also changing (i.e. the overhead is an example of semi-fixed semi-
variable cost).
Total Fixed cost = $500; Variable cost per unit = $12 (1800 / 150); Contribution per unit = $3 ($15 - $12)
Break even volume is 167 (500/3 = 166.67)
Problem 8 SOLUTION:
(a) Total time required on cutting machines = (2,500 x 1.0) + (3,400 x 1.0) + (5,100 x 0.5) = 8,450 hours
Total time available on cutting machines = 5,000 hours
Total time required on assembling machines = (2,500 x 0.5) + (3,400 x 1.0) + (5,100 x 0.5) = 7,200 hours
Total time available on assembling machines = 8,000 hours
Abstracted from Atrill, Mclaney, Harvey, and Jenner, Accounting An Introduction, 4e, 2009. Pearson. 4
Therefore the limiting factor is the availability of Cutting Machines.
Therefore, produce 3,400 units of product Beta using 3,400 hours on cutting machines
3,200 units of product Gamma using 1,600 hours on cutting machines
5,000 hours on cutting machines
Problem 9 SOLUTION:
(a) the break-even point if only product A were made would be:
Fixed costs / (sales revenue per unit variable cost per unit)
= $40,000 / ($30 (15+6)) = 4,445 units (per annum)
(b) Product
