  2. The margin of safety can be calculated by: A) Sales − (Fixed expenses/Contribution margin ratio). B) Sales − (Fixed expenses/Variable expense per unit). C) Sales − (Fixed expenses + Variable expenses). D) Sales − Net operating income. A

  3. Hopi Corporation expects the following operating results for next year: Sales $400,000 Margin of safety $100,000 Contribution margin ratio 75% Degree of operating leverage 4 What is Hopi expecting total fixed expenses to be next year? • A) $75,000 • B) $100,000 • C) $200,000 • D) $225,000 • D

  4. Ans:  D • Solution: Current sales - Breakeven sales = Margin of safety Substituting the given information into the above equation, we will have: $400,000 − Breakeven sales = $100,000 Breakeven sales = $300,000 Breakeven sales = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin ratio Substituting the given information into the above equation, we will have: $300,000 = Fixed expenses ÷ 0.75 Fixed expenses = $225,000

  5. Escareno Corporation has provided its contribution format income statement for June. The company produces and sells a single product. Sales (8,400 units) $764,400 Variable expenses  445,200 Contribution margin 319,200 Fixed expenses 250,900 Net operating income $68,300 If the company sells 8,200 units, its total contribution margin should be closest to: • A) $301,000 • B) $311,600 • C) $319,200 • D) $66,674 • B

  6. Ans:  B Solution: Current contribution margin ÷ Current sales in units = Contribution margin per unit $319,200 ÷ 8,400 = $38 contribution margin per unit If 8,200 units are sold, the total contribution margin will be 8,200 × $38, or $311,600.

  7. The Bronco Birdfeed Company reported the following information: Sales (400 cases) $100,000 Variable expenses 60,000 Contribution margin 40,000 Fixed expenses 35,000 Net operating income $5,000 How much will the sale of one additional case add to Bronco's net operating income? • A) $250.00 • B) $100.00 • C) $150.00 • D) $12.50 • B

  8. Ans:  B Solution: Current contribution margin ÷ Current sales in cases = Contribution margin per case $40,000 ÷ 400 = $100 contribution margin per case If one additional case is sold, net operating income will increase by $100.

  9. The margin of safety in the Flaherty Company is $24,000. If the company's sales are $120,000 and its variable expenses are $80,000, its fixed expenses must be: • A) $8,000 • B) $32,000 • C) $24,000 • D) $16,000 • B

  10. Ans:  B Solution: Current sales - Breakeven sales = Margin of safety Substituting the given information into the above equation, we will have: $120,000 - Breakeven sales = $24,000 Breakeven sales = $96,000 Sales - Variable expenses = Contribution margin $120,000 - $80,000 = $40,000 Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin ÷ Sales Contribution margin ratio = $ 40,000 ÷ $120,000 Contribution margin ratio = 0.33333 Breakeven sales = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin ratio Substituting the given information into the above equation, we will have: $96,000 = Fixed costs ÷ 0.33333 Fixed costs = $32,000

  11. Dodero Company produces a single product which sells for $100 per unit. Fixed expenses total $12,000 per month, and variable expenses are $60 per unit. The company's sales average 500 units per month. Which of the following statements is correct? A) The company's break-even point is $12,000 per month. B) The fixed expenses remain constant at $24 per unit for any activity level within the relevant range. C) The company's contribution margin ratio is 40%. • Responses A, B, and C are all correct. C

  12. Ans:  C Solution: Answer A is not correct because: • Sales = Variable expenses + Fixed expenses + Profit • $100Q = $60Q + $12,000 + $0 • $40Q = $12,000 • Q = $12,000 ÷ $40 per unit = 300 units • 300 units × $100 selling price per unit = $30,000 breakeven sales in dollars Answer B is not correct because fixed costs change as activity level changes Answer C is correct because: • Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expenses per unit • = $100 - $60 = $40 • Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin per unit ÷ Selling price per unit • Contribution margin ratio = $40 ÷ $100 • Contribution margin ratio = 40%

  13. Holt Company's variable expenses are 70% of sales. At a $300,000 sales level, the degree of operating leverage is 10. If sales increase by $60,000, the degree of operating leverage will be: • A) 12 • B) 10 • C) 6 • D) 4 D

  14. Ans:  D Solution: Sales $300,000 Variable expenses ($300,000 × 70%)  210,000 Contribution margin 90,000 Fixed expenses   ? Net operating income $? Current degree of operating leverage = Current contribution margin ÷ Current net operating income 10 = $90,000 ÷ Current net operating income Current net operating income = $90,000 ÷ 10 = $9,000 Contribution margin = Fixed expenses - Net operating income $90,000 = Fixed expenses - $9,000 Fixed expenses = $90,000 - $9,000 = $81,000 Sales ($300,000 + $60,000) $360,000 Variable expenses ($360,000 × 70%) 252,000 Contribution margin 108,000 Fixed expenses 81,000 Net operating income $ 27,000 Degree of operating leverage = Contribution margin ÷ Net operating income = $108,000/$27,000 = 4.0

  15. Gayne Corporation's contribution margin ratio is 12% and its fixed monthly expenses are $84,000.

  18. Ans:  C Solution: Sales (110,000 units × $11.50) $1,265,000 Variable expenses (110,000 units × $6*) 660,00 Contribution margin 605,000 Fixed expenses ($300,000 + $100,000) 400,000 Net operating income $ 205,000 * Current variable expenses ÷ Current sales in units = Variable expense per unit $600,000 ÷ 100,000 = $6 variable expense per unit
