Labrador Company produces a single product. It sold 75,000 units last year with the following results:

 

 

 

Sales                                                                $1,875,000

 

Variable costs              $750,000

 

Fixed costs                     300,000                       1,050,000

 

Net income before taxes                                       825,000

 

Income taxes (45%)                                              371,250

 

Net income                                                        $ 453,750

 

 

 

In an attempt to improve its product, Labrador is considering replacing a component part in its product that has a cost of $5 per unit with a new and better part costing $10 per unit during the coming year. A new machine would also be needed to increase plant capacity. The machine would cost $90,000, with a useful life of six years and no salvage value. The company uses straight-line amortization on all plant assets.

 

 

 

1.      Labrador’s break-even point in units last year was =20,000 units

 

 

 

2.      Product’s units that Labrador would have to sell in the past year to earn $247,500 in net income after taxes are  50,000

 

 

 

3.      If it holds the sales price constant and makes the suggested changes, Labrador’s break-even point in units in the coming year will be 

 

4.      If it holds the sales price constant and makes the suggested changes, Labrador have to sell to make the same net income before taxes as last year will be 114,000 units

 

5.      If Labrador wishes to maintain the same contribution margin ratio, selling price per unit of product must it charge next year to cover the increased materials costs will be $37.5

 

 

 

 

 

6.      The effect on the company’s net income before tax if the sales increased by 10% last year will be

 

 Do not prepare income statement. $112,500 increase =DOL X increase of sales X net income

Taylor Enterprises sells its product for $40 per unit. It currently produces 100,000 units per year, operating at normal capacity, which is about 80% of full capacity. Taylor recently received a special order from a customer for 20,000 units. Production costs per unit for regular sales are direct materials $ 6, direct labour $14, and manufacturing overhead $12.  The $12for manufacturing overhead is based on $400,000 of annual fixed manufacturing overhead that is allocated using the normal capacity.

 

7.      Suppose the special order price is $520,000 for all 20,000 units, and assume that Taylor has sufficient capacity to fill the special order. Should it be accepted or not and how much the effect on the net income?

 

 

 

8.      Suppose that Taylor would like to earn $40,000 on this order and assume that there is sufficient capacity to fill the special order. What price per unit should Taylor charge for the special order?

 

 

 

9.      Suppose that the special order price is $650,000 for all 20,000 units, but there is not sufficient capacity to fill the order; 10,000 units of regular business will be replaced by the special order if it is accepted. Should Taylor accept the special order or not how much the effect on the net income?
