Management is anxious to increase the companys profit and has asked for an analysis of a
number of items.
Required:
1. Compute the companys CM ratio and variable expense ratio.
2. Compute the companys break-even point in both units and sales dollars.
i) Use the equation method.
ii) Use shortcut method
3. Assume that sales increase by $400,000 next year. If cost behavior patterns remain unchanged,
by how much will the companys net operating income increase? Use the CM ratio to compute
your answer.
4. Refer to the original data. Assume that next year management wants the company to earn a
profit of at least $90,000. How many units will have to be sold to meet this target profit?
5. Refer to the original data. Compute the companys margin of safety.
6. Refer to the original data. Suppose company want to bring a new policy which will increase
variable cost tk 5 per unit but sales unit will be increased by 5000 unit as quality of product will
be increased. Should this change be implemented?
7. Refer to the original data. Suppose company want to bring a new policy which will increase
fixed cost tk 40000 but sales unit will be increased by 1000 unit as quality of product will be
increased. Should this change be implemented?
