Problem 1

1. Calculate the contribution per CD unit Selling price to CD distributor $9.00 Less: Variable cost CD Package and disk (direct material/labor) $1.25/unit Songwriter’s royalties $0.35/unit Recording artists’ royalties $1.00/unit

Total variable cost 2.60 Contribution per CD unit $6.40

2. Calculate the break-even volume in CD units and dollars

Total Fixed Cost: Advertising and promotion $275,000 Studio Recordings, Inc. overhead 250,000 Total $525,000

Contribution per CD unit (from #1 above) $6.40

Contribution margin ($9.00-$2.60)/$9.00=.711 or 71.1%

$525,000
Break-even volume in units = $6.40 = 82,031.25 units

$525,000
Break-even volume in dollars = .711 = $738,396.62

= 82,031.25 x $9.00 = $738,281.25

(Difference is due to rounding the contribution margin percent)

3. Calculate the net profit if 1 million CDs are sold

Total Sales (1,000,000 units x $9.00) $9,000,000
Less: Total Variable Cost (1,000,000 units x $2.60) 2,600,000
Less: Total Fixed Cost 525,000 Net Profit $5,875,000

4. Calculate the necessary CD unit volume to achieve a $200,000 profit

Profit objective = $200,000

Fixed cost = $525,000

Contribution per Unit = $6.40

$525,000 Fixed Cost + $200,000 Profit Objective $6.40 Contribution per Unit = 113,281.25 units

Problem 2

1. What is VCI’s unit contribution and contribution margin?

Selling price for VCI: $20.00 Suggested retail price - 8.00 Retailer margin (40% of $12.00 suggested retail price)

    A1. Concerns in Budget Planning: Budgetary Items. Depreciation: Depreciation is “the method that the accountants use to allocate the cost of equipment and other assets to the total cost of products and services as shown on the income statement” (Berman, Knight, & Case, 2013). Depreciation is said to be based on the same fundamentals as accruals in that a company “wants to match as closely as possible the costs of products and services with what was sold” (Berman et al., 2013). The idea is to spread the cost of the expenditure over the useful life of the item over the course of time (Berman et al., 2013). Depreciation carries too much of an increase in year 9. Year 8 totals for accumulated depreciation is at (-690,000). By year 9, depreciation is too fast and rises to a higher negative amount at (-920,000). There are ways to correct this issue. Competition Bikes could utilize new methods to determine fundamental accounting equations that would help to increase the company’s “equity in the form of retained earnings” (Berman et al., 2013). For example, leases could be re-financed and lengthened to record a smaller charge on the statement year to year (Berman et al., 2013). Other equipment could be re-financed or re-valued in order to decrease operational costs and depreciation. For example, delivery trucks could be evaluated. If Competition Bikes determined that those trucks could last six years instead of three, then “a 50 percent smaller charge on its income statement” could be recorded (Berman et al., 2013). Liabilities: Liabilities are “what a company owes to other entities” (Berman et al., 2013). Liabilities can also describe how a company obtains its assets because they show up in different explanations on the balance sheet (Berman et al., 2013). For example, long-term liabilities are “those that come due…
