Parts 1 and 2
The scatter diagram and its estimated line of cost behavior appear below.
Sales and cost amounts are in thousands of dollars.
Part 2 Calculation of variable and fixed costs
Part 3
The estimates in Part 2 can be used to predict the total costs that will be
incurred at sales levels of $100 and $170 (both in thousands).

Problem 18-4B (75 minutes)
Part 1 Instructor note: Use the equation in Exhibit 18.12
2013 break-even in dollar sales = Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio
*To compute contribution margin ratio
Sales price per unit ($750,000 / 20,000)................................................................
$37.50
Variable costs per unit ($600,000 / 20,000) ..............................................................
$30.00
Contribution margin ratio ($37.50- $30) / $37.50) ....................................................
20%
Part 2 Instructor note: Use equation in Exhibit 18.12 with predicted numbers
2014 break-even in dollar sales = Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio
2013 fixed costs plus 2014 increase ($200,000 + $150,000) ................................
$350,000
**To compute predicted contribution margin ratio
Predicted sales price per unit ($750,000 / 20,000) ...................................................

Unit sales price and variable costs are computed in Part 1 and used in these computations:
* Product BB sales = 64,000 units x $16; Product TT sales = 64,000 units x $16.
**Product BB variable costs = 64,000 units x $11.20;
Product TT variable costs = 64,000 units x $2.
Part 4
If sales were to greatly increase, Product TT would experience the greater
increase in income because it would gain more contribution margin per
Part 5
Factors that could cause Product BB to have lower fixed costs include:
• Labor arrangement that pays workers for units produced.
Problem 18-6B (45 minutes)
Part 1 Instructor note: Use the equation in Exhibit 18.12
Break-even in dollar sales = Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio
Existing Strategy: = $950,000 / 55%*
= $1,727,273 (rounded to the next dollar)
