Let X represent the cost of the soup.
Let Y denote the cost of the salad.
The total cost for both is expressed as X + Y = 5.50 (equation 1).
Given that the cost of the soup (X) is $1 more than the cost of the salad (Y), we can write the second equation as X = Y + 1 (equation 2).
By substituting equation 2 into equation 1, we arrive at Y + Y + 1 = 5.50, leading to 2Y + 1 = 5.50, and solving this yields Y = 2.25.
Now substituting Y back into equation 1: X + 2.25 = 5.50, thus X = 5.50 - 2.25, and hence the cost of soup is 3.25 or 325 cents, while salad is 225 cents.

The combined cost of soup and salad is $5.50.

The price of soup is $1 more than that of salad.

We substitute these relationships:

Salad + 1 + Salad = 5.50

This simplifies to 2 Salads = 4.50

Thus, Salad = $2.25
= 225 cents.

Cost of goods sold          70,000,000     30,000,000

Selling Expenses             12,000,000        4,000,000

Administrative Exp.           6,000,000         6,000,000

Total                                  88,000,000     40,000,000

Note:

Cost of goods sold: 70% variable and 30% fixed on 10,000,000 respectively

Selling expenses: 75% variable and 25% fixed on $16,000,000 respectively

Administrative expenses: 50% variable and 50% fixed on $12,000,000 respectively

2. Unit Variable cost = Total variable cost / Units produced

Total Variable cost          88,000,000

Units produced                  1,000,000

Unit variable cost                  88      

Unit Contribution margin = Selling Price - Variable cost per unit

Selling Price                    $188

- Variable cost per unit       $88

Unit Contribution margin   $100

3. Break even Point (Units) = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost                                    40,000,000

Contribution margin per Unit           100    

Break even Point (Units)               400,000

4. Break even point (units) = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost                                           40,000,000

Increased Fixed cost                           5,000,000

Total New fixed cost                          45,000,000

Contribution margin per unit                   100      

Break even point (units)                      450,000

5. Determined sales units = (New fixed cost + Desired Income) / Contribution margin

New Fixed Cost                45,000,000

Desired Income                60,000,000

                                         105,000,000

Contribution margin                100        

per unit

Determined sales units      1,050,000

6. Maximum Income from operation = Total New sales - Total New variable cost - Total Fixed cost

Sales                               188,000,000

Increased sales               11,280,000

Total New sales              199,289,000

Variable cost                    88,000,000

New Variable cost     5,280,000

Total New Variable cost   93,280,000

Total New Fixed cost       45,000,000

Maximum Income from   61,000,000

operation

Number of units = Increase in sales / Price per unit

New variable cost = Number of units * Unit variable cost

Increased sales                    11,280,000

Price per unit                            188    

Number of units                      60,000

Unit variable cost x                  88.00

New Variable cost                 5,280,000

7. Net income = Sales - Variable cost - New fixed cost

Sales                           188,000,000

Less: Variable cost      88,000,000

Less: New fixed cost   45,000,000

Net Income                  55,000,000

Ehrling, Inc., manufactures metal racks for hanging clothing in retail stores. Ehrling was approached by the CEO of Carly’s Corn
Mariulka [3182]

Answer:

additional revenue = $26,250

relevant costs:

direct materials = 350 x $82 = $28,700

direct labor = 525 x $15 = $7,875

setup hours = 1 x $5 = $5

inspection costs = 20 x $5 = $100

machining = 175 x $3 = $525

total relevant costs = $37,205

1) change in income if order is accepted:

total revenue - total relevant costs = $26,250 - $37,205 = -$10,955

the company will incur a loss of $10,955 if the order is approved.

2) if the cost of direct materials is decreased by $13 per unit = $13 x 350 = $4,550, and if direct labor can be reduced by 0.5 hours per unit = 175 hours (= 175 x $15 = $2,625) ⇒ total relevant costs will be lowered by $7,175.

It results in a $3,780 (= $10,955 - $7,175) loss if the special order is accepted.
