Problem 6-1A

Fredonia Inc. had a bad year in 2013. For the first time in its history, it operated at a loss. The company’s income statement showed the following results from selling 79,100 units of product: Net sales $1,542,450; total costs and expenses $1,750,700; and net loss $208,250. Costs and expenses consisted of the following.

Total Variable Fixed
Cost of goods sold $1,197,800 $776,100 $421,700
Selling expenses 427,300 79,600 347,700
Administrative expenses 125,600 53,800 71,800
$1,750,700 $909,500 $841,200

Management is considering the following independent alternatives for 2014.

1. Increase unit selling price 22% with no change in costs and expenses.
2. Change the compensation of salespersons from fixed annual salaries totaling $200,000 to total salaries of $36,100 plus a 5% commission on net sales.
3. Purchase new high-tech factory machinery that will change the proportion between variable and fixed cost of goods sold to 50:50.

(a) Compute the break-even point in dollars for 2014. (Round contribution margin ratio to 4 decimal places e.g. 0.2512 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,510.)

Exercise 7-2 (Part Level Submission)

Gruden Company produces golf discs which it normally sells to retailers for $6.90 each. The cost of manufacturing 20,700 golf discs is:

Materials $9,729
Labor 30,636
Variable overhead 22,149
Fixed overhead 40,572
Total $103,086

Gruden also incurs 8% sales commission ($0.55) on each disc sold.

McGee Corporation offers Gruden $5 per disc for 4,700 discs. McGee would sell the discs under its own brand name in foreign markets not yet served by Gruden. If Gruden accepts the offer, its fixed overhead will increase from $40,572 to $46,294 due to the purchase of a new imprinting machine. No sales commission will result from the special order.

Problem 11-1A

Costello Corporation manufactures a single product. The standard cost per unit of product is shown below.

Direct materials—2 pound plastic at $6.25 per pound $ 12.50
Direct labor—2.00 hours at $12.00 per hour 24.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 14.00
Fixed manufacturing overhead 6.00
Total standard cost per unit $56.50

The predetermined manufacturing overhead rate is $10 per direct labor hour ($20.00 ÷ 2.00). It was computed from a master manufacturing overhead budget based on normal production of 11,400 direct labor hours (5,700 units) for the month. The master budget showed total variable costs of $79,800 ($7.00 per hour) and total fixed overhead costs of $34,200 ($3.00 per hour). Actual costs for October in producing 3,100 units were as follows.

Direct materials (6,390 pounds) $ 40,704
Direct labor (6,030 hours) 74,048
Variable overhead 44,080
Fixed overhead 20,070
    Total manufacturing costs $178,902

The purchasing department buys the quantities of raw materials that are expected to be used in production each month. Raw materials inventories, therefore, can be ignored.

(a) Compute all of the materials and labor variances. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)

Bracewell Company reported net income of $194,600 for 2014. Bracewell also reported depreciation expense of $40,160 and a gain of $5,580 on disposal of plant assets. The comparative balance sheet shows an increase in accounts receivable of $15,210 for the year, a $17,790 increase in accounts payable, and a $3,400 decrease in prepaid expenses.

Prepare the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows for 2014. Use the indirect method. (Show amounts that decrease cash flow with either a – sign e.g. -15,000 or in parenthesis e.g. (15,000).)
