Bruell Electronics Co. is developing a new product, surge protectors for high-voltage electrical flows. The cost information below relates to the product



The company will also be absorbing $120,000 of additional fixed costs associated with this new product. A corporate fixed charge of $20000 currently absorbed by other products will be allocated to this new product. If the selling price is $14 per unit, the breakeven point in units (rounded to the nearest hundred) for surge protectors is

  1. 8,500 units.
  2. 10,000 units.
  3. 15,000 units.
  4. 20,000 units.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The breakeven point in units equals total additional fixed costs divided by the unit contribution margin. Unit variable costs total $8 ($3.25 + $4.00 + $75). Thus, UCM is $6 ($14 unit selling price--$6-unit VC), and the breakeven point is 20,000 units ($120,000 PC ÷ $6).

How many surge protectors (rounded to the nearest hundred) must Bruell Electronics sell at a selling price of $14 per unit to gain $30 p000 additional income before taxes?

  1. 1070O units.
  2. 121O0 units.
  3. 20,000 units.
  4. 25,000 units.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The number of units to be sold to generate a specified pre-tax income equals the sum of total fixed costs and the targeted pre-tax income, divided by the unit contribution margin. Unit variable costs total $8 ($3.25 + $4.00 + $75), and UCM is $6 ($14 unit selling price -- $8). Thus, the desired unit sales level equals 25,000 units [($120,000 + $30,000) + $61.

A corporate fixed charge of $20,000 currently absorbed by other products will be allocated to this new product.How many surge protectors (rounded to the nearest hundred) must Bruell Electronics sell at a selling price of $14 per unit to increase after4ax income by $30,000? Bruell Electronics' effective income tax rate is 40%.

  1. 10,700 units.
  2. 12,100 units.
  3. 20,000 units.
  4. 28,300 units.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The number of units to be sold to generate a specified pre4ax income equals the sum of total fixed costs and the targeted pre-tax income, divided by the unit contribution margin. Given a desired after-tax income of $30,000 and a tax rate of 40%, the targeted pre-tax income must be $50,000 [$30,000 + (1.0-- 4)]. Unit variable costs total $8 ($3.25 + $4.00 + $75), and UCM is $6 ($14 unit selling price -- $8). Hence, the desired unit sales level is 28,333 [($120,000 + $50,000) + $6]. Rounded to the nearest hundred, the answer is $28,300.

BE&H Manufacturing is considering dropping a product line. It currently produces a multi-purpose woodworking clamp in a simple manufacturing process that uses special equipment. Variable costs amount to $6.00 per unit. Fixed overhead costs, exclusive of depreciation, have been allocated to this product at a rate of $3.50 a unit and will continue whether or not production ceases. Depreciation on the special equipment amounts to $20,000 a year. If production of the clamp is stopped, the special equipment can be sold for $18,000; if production continues, however, the equipment will be useless for further production at the end of 1 year and will have no salvage value. The clamp has a selling price of $10 a unit. Ignoring tax effects, the minimum number of units that would have to be sold in the current year to break even on a cash flow basis is

  1. 4,500 units.
  2. 5,000 units.
  3. 20.000 units.
  4. 36,000 units.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The BEP in units is equal to fixed costs divided by the difference between unit selling price and 1 unit variable cost (UCM). The $18,000 salvage value, the cash flow to be received if production is discontinued, is treated here as a fixed cost. Hence, continuation of the product line will permit the firm to break even or make a profit only if the total CM is $18,000 or more.



Fixed overhead allocated is not considered in this calculation because it is not a cash flow and will continue regardless of the decision.
