As the Management Accountant, calculate the following for the use of management in
decision making for the forthcoming period:
i) Variable cost/sales ratio. (1 mark)

Variable Costing Income Statement and Effect on Income of Change in OperationsKimbrell Inc. manufactures three sizes of utility tables—small (S), medium (M), and large (L). The income statement has consistently indicated a net loss for the M size, and management is considering three proposals: (1) continue Size M, (2) discontinue Size M and reduce total output accordingly, or (3) discontinue Size M and conduct an advertising campaign to expand the sales of Size S so that the entire plant capacity can continue to be used.If Proposal 2 is selected and Size M is discontinued and production curtailed, the annual fixed production costs and fixed operating expenses could be reduced by $142,500 and $28,350, respectively. If Proposal 3 is selected, it is anticipated that an additional annual expenditure of $85,050 for the salary of an assistant brand manager (classified as a fixed operating expense) would yield an additional 130% in Size S sales volume. It is also assumed that the increased…
Consider the following cost and pricing data of ABC Corp. on its Product X: Price: P120.00.per unit Profit Contribution: P90.00 Proposed additional Cost: P3 per unit (for quality improvement) Current Profits: P2.4 million Sales: 100,000 units.
Assuming that average variable costs are constant at all output levels, find ABC Corp.’s total cost function before the proposed change.Calculate the total cost function if the quality improvement is implemented.Calculate ABC Corp.’s break-even output before and after the change, assuming it cannot increase its price.Calculate the increase in sales that would be necessary with the quality improvement to increase profits to P2.7 million.

If Proposal 2 is selected and Size M is discontinued and production curtailed, the annual fixed production costs and fixed operating expenses could be reduced by 46,080 and 32,240, respectively. If Proposal 3 is selected, it is anticipated that an additional annual expenditure of 34,560 for the rental of additional warehouse space would yield an additional 130% in Size S sales volume. It is also assumed that the increased production of Size S would utilize the plant facilities released by the discontinuance of Size M. The sales and costs have been relatively stable over the past few years, and they are expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. The income statement for the past year ended June 30, 20Y9, is as follows: Instructions 1. Prepare an income statement for the past year in the variable costing format. Use the following headings: Data for each size should be reported through contribution margin. The fixed costs should be deducted from the total contribution margin, as reported in the Total column, to determine operating income. 2. Based on the income statement prepared in (1) and the other data presented, determine the amount by which total annual operating income would be reduced below its present level if Proposal 2 is accepted. 3. Prepare an income statement in the variable costing format, indicating the projected annual operating income if Proposal 3 is accepted. Use the following headings: Data for each style should be reported through contribution margin. The fixed costs should be deducted from the total contribution margin as reported in the Total column.

The following information concerns labor availability, labor utilization, and product profitability: a. Develop a linear programming model of the Hartman Company problem. Solve the model to determine the optimal production quantities of products 1 and 2. b. In computing the profit contribution per unit, management does not deduct labor costs because they are considered fixed for the upcoming planning period. However, suppose that overtime can be scheduled in some of the departments. Which departments would you recommend scheduling for overtime? How much would you be willing to pay per hour of overtime in each department? c. Suppose that 10, 6, and 8 hours of overtime may be scheduled in departments A, B, and C, respectively. The cost per hour of overtime is 18 in department A, 22.50 in department B, and 12 in department C. Formulate a linear programming model that can be used to determine the optimal production quantities if overtime is made available.

- Assume that a company uses the absorption costing approach to cost-plus pricing. It is considering the introduction of a new product. To determine a selling price, the company has gathered the following information: Number of units to be produced and sold each year Unit product cost Estimated annual selling and administrative expenses Estimated investment required by the company Desired return on investment (ROI) What is the markup percentage on absorption cost required to achieve the desired ROI? 15,000 30 $ $81,900 $780,000 12%arrow_forwardActivity-Based Management, Non-Value-Added Costs, Target Costs, Kaizen Costing Joseph Hansen, president of Electronica, Inc., was concerned about the end-of-the-year marketing report that he had just received. According to Asha Kumar, marketing manager, a price decrease for the coming year was again needed to maintain the company's annual sales volume of integrated circuit boards (CBs). This would make a bad situation worse. The current selling price of $27 per unit was producing a $3-per-unit profit—half the customary $6-per-unit profit. Foreign competitors keep reducing their prices. To match the latest reduction would reduce the price from $27 to $21. This would put the price below the cost to produce and sell it. How could the foreign firms sell for such a low price? Determined to find out if there were problems with the company's operations, Joseph decided to hire Ahmed Kumar, a well-known consultant and brother of Asha, who specializes in methods of continuous improvement.
