Problem 18-5A (65 minutes)
Part 1 Instructor note: Use the equation in Exhibit 18.12
Break-even in dollar sales = Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio
Product T:
*To compute contribution margin ratio
Sales price per unit
Product T ($2,000,000 / 50,000)................................................................................
Product O ($2,000,000 / 50,000)...............................................................................

__O__

Variable costs**............................................................ 960,000 150,000
Contribution margin.................................................... 240,000 1,050,000
Unit sales price and variable costs are computed in Part 1 and used in these computations:
* Product T sales = 30,000 units x $40; Product O sales = 30,000 units x $40.
** Product T variable costs = 30,000 units x $32; Product O variable costs = 30,000 units x $5.

Part 4
If sales were to greatly decrease, Product O would suffer the greater loss
because it would lose more contribution margin per unit than Product T
($35 for O versus $8 for T). Examining the operating leverage of these two
Part 5
Factors that could cause Product T to have lower fixed costs might include:
Labor arrangement that pays workers for units produced.
Sales representatives that work totally on commission.
Managers that are compensated with a share of profits instead of salaries.

Unit sales price and variable costs are computed in Part 1 and used in these computations:
* Plan 1 sales = 40,000 units x $25; Plan 2 sales = 36,000 units x $30.
** Plan 1 variable costs = 40,000 units x $7.50; Plan 2 variable costs = 36,000 units x $7.50.

Problem 18-7A (50 minutes)
Part 1 BREAK-EVEN ANALYSIS ASSUMING USE OF SAME MATERIALS
Step 1: Compute break-even in composite units—Use equation in Exhibit 18.29
Break-even in composite units = Fixed costs/Contribution margin per composite unit
*To compute the contribution margin per composite unit
Unit Sales Price Unit Variable Costs
5 units of Red
@ $20 per unit...................................................
@ $12 per unit...................................................
$100
$ 60
4 units of White
@ $35 per unit...................................................
@ $22 per unit...................................................
140
88
2 units of Blue
Thus:
Contribution margin per composite unit = $370 - $248 = $122
Contribution margin ratio (rounded) = $122 / $370 = 32.97%
Step 2: Compute break-even in individual product unit sales
Unit sales of Red at break-even: 2,050 x 5 = 10,250 units
Unit sales of Blue at break-even: 2,050 x 2 = 4,100 units
Step 3: Compute break-even in individual product dollar sales
Dollar sales of Red at break-even: 10,250 units x $20 = $205,000
Crossfoot Step 3 total with that from formula ($235 rounding difference):
Break-even in dollar sales = Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio
= $250,000 / 32.97%

Part 2 BREAK-EVEN ANALYSIS ASSUMING USE OF NEW MATERIALS
Step 1: Compute break-even in composite units—Use equation in Exhibit 18.29
*To compute the contribution margin per composite unit
Unit Sales Price Unit Variable Costs
5 units of Red
@ $20 per unit......................................................
@ ($12 - $6) per unit............................................
$100
$ 30
4 units of White
@ $35 per unit......................................................
@ ($22 - $12) per unit..........................................
140
40
Variable cost of a composite unit..........................
Thus:
Contribution margin per composite unit = $370 - $150 = $220
Contribution margin ratio (rounded) = $220/ $370 = 59.46%
Step 2: Compute break-even in individual product unit sales
Step 3: Compute break-even in individual product dollar sales
Dollar sales of Red at break-even: 6,820 units x $20 = $136,400
Dollar sales of White at break-even: 5,456 units x $35 = $190,960
Dollar sales of Blue at break-even: 2,728 units x $65 = $177,320

(12,000 units) Per unit % of sales
Sales ($18 x 12,000)............................. $216,000 $18.000 100.00%
Variable costs

Office equipment lease........................1,050
System staff salaries............................15,000

The contribution margin per unit is $14.625, and the contribution margin ratio is
81.25%.
Part 3 Analysis Component
Contribution margin shows how much of total sales are available to cover
fixed costs and contribute to operating income. This is why the title for this
