The perceived advantages of the system include each of the following, except:

The new system will facilitate disaggregation of overall results into business segment information.

Fixed cost Mixed cost High-low cost PART 2 Question 1 Jacob Davis recently graduated from medical school. He is considering opening his own family practice doctor office. A doctor’s office is a high-fixed cost business, as it requires considerable expenditures for facilities, labor, and equipment, no matter how many families are served. Assume the annual fixed cost of operations is $400,000.Further assume that the only significant variable cost relates to patients served. An
- 8. average patient served costs $250. Jacob’s banker has asked a variety of questions in contemplation of providing a loan for this business. Requirements: If the average family is charged $475 for services, how many families must be served to clear the break-even point? If the banker believes Jacob will only serve 1,000 families during the first year in business, how much will the business lose during its first year of operation? If Jacob believes his profits will be at least $100,000 during the first year, how much is he anticipating for total revenue? The banker has suggested that Jacob can reduce his fixed costs by $100,000 if he will not purchase certain equipment. Jacob can instead lease or rent this equipment as needed. The variable cost of leasing this equipment is $55 per family served. Will this suggestion help Jacob reach the break-even point sooner? Question 2 Carpet Clean manufactures a chemical cleaner. The company was formed during the current year. As a result, there was no beginning inventory. Management is evaluating performance and inventory management issues, and desires to know both net income and ending inventory under generally accepted accounting principles (absorption costing) as well as variable costing methods.

In reviewing the shop’s utility bills for the past 12 months, he found that the highest bill of $2,800 occurred in July when the machines worked 1,400 machine hours. The lowest utility bill of $2,600 occurred in December when the machines worked 900 machine hours. Requirements – using the high-low method a. Calculate the variable rate per machine hour and the total fixed utility cost. b. Show the equation for determining the total utility cost for the machine shop c. If Jake anticipates using 1,200 machine hours in January, predict the shop’s total utility bill using the equation from requirement (b).

- 12. Contribution margin per unit Contribution margin ratio Required units to achieve target profit Required units to breakeven Required sales dollars to breakeven Question 3 Clarke manufactures and sells two products. The first product is a disposable shaving razor blade that lasts about 7 days. The second product is shaving cream. Customers of the first product use one bottle of shaving cream every 28 days. As a result, razor blades outsell shaving cream by a 4:1 ratio. Shaving Cream sells for $8 per bottle, and has a contribution margin ratio of 50%. The razor blades sell for $3 per blade, but only generate variables costs of $1.50. The company’s total fixed costs are $3,500,000. Requirements: a. What level of total sales is necessary to achieve break even? b. If a competitor began selling razors that forced Clarke to reduce the price for its razors to $2.50 (to maintain market share and the 4:1 ratio of razors to shaving cream), how many Razor sets must be sold for the company to break even? Question 4 Cyber Inc manufactures networking devices for personal computer systems, using just-in-time methods. After receiving an order for 300 devices, the company bought materials (for cash) costing $14,000 to fill this order. It incurred labor and overhead costs of $48,000, of which $10,000 was for wages and the rest overhead.
