19. 19-19 Case III: Vargo’s principal supplier of raw materials has just announced a price increase. The higher cost is expected to increase the variable cost of camcorders by $25 per unit. Management decides to hold the line on the selling price of the camcorders. It plans a cost-cutting program that will save $17,500 in fixed costs per month. Vargo is currently realizing monthly net income of $80,000 on sales of 1,400 camcorders. Question: What increase in units sold will be needed to maintain the same level of net income?

23. 19-23 LO 3 Explain the term sales mix and its effects on break-even sales. Break-Even Sales in Units  Sales mix is the relative percentage in which a company sells its products.  If a company’s unit sales are 80% printers and 20% computers, its sales mix is 80% to 20%.  Sales mix is important because different products often have very different contribution margins. Sales Mix

24. 19-24 LO 3 Explain the term sales mix and its effects on break-even sales. Companies can compute break-even sales for a mix of two or more products by determining the weighted-average unit contribution margin of all the products. Illustration: Vargo Video sells not only camcorders but TV sets as well. Vargo sells its two products in the following amounts: 1,500 camcorders and 500 TVs. The sales mix, expressed as a function of total units sold, is as follows. Illustration 19-13 Break-Even Sales in Units Sales Mix

35. 19-35 LO 4  All companies have limited resources whether it be floor space, raw materials, direct labor hours, etc.  Management must decide which products to sell to maximize net income.

43. 19-43 LO 5 Understand how operating leverage affects profitability. First let’s look at the contribution margin ratios. Illustration 19-26 Illustration 19-25 Effect on Contribution Margin Ratio Cost Structure and Operating Leverage

44. 19-44   New Wave contributes 80 cents to net income for each dollar of increased sales while Vargo only contributes 40 cents.   New Wave’s cost structure which relies on fixed costs is more sensitive to changes in sales. LO 5 Understand how operating leverage affects profitability. Effect on Contribution Margin Ratio Illustration 19-26 Cost Structure and Operating Leverage

45. 19-45   New Wave needs to generate $150,000 more in sales than Vargo to break-even.   Because of the greater break-even sales required, New Wave is a riskier company than Vargo. Illustration 19-27 LO 5 Understand how operating leverage affects profitability. Calculate the break-even point. Effect on Break-Even Point Cost Structure and Operating Leverage

46. 19-46   The difference in ratios reflects the difference in risk between New Wave and Vargo.   Vargo can sustain a 38% decline in sales before operating at a loss versus only a 19% decline for New Wave.

47. 19-47 LO 5 Understand how operating leverage affects profitability.  Extent that net income reacts to a given change in sales.  Higher fixed costs relative to variable costs cause a company to have higher operating leverage.  When sales revenues are increasing, high operating leverage means that profits will increase rapidly.  When sales revenues are declining, too much operating leverage can have devastating consequences.

48. 19-48 LO 5 Understand how operating leverage affects profitability.  Provides a measure of a company’s earnings volatility.  Computed by dividing total contribution margin by net income.

51. 19-51 Under variable costing, product costs consist of:   Direct Materials   Direct Labor   Variable Manufacturing Overhead The difference between absorption and variable costing is: LO 6 Explain the difference between absorption costing and variable costing. Illustration 19A-1 Appendix 19A Absorption Costing versus Variable Costing

52. 19-52 The difference between absorption and variable costing:   Under both costing methods, selling and administrative expenses are treated as period costs.   Companies may not use variable costing for external financial reports because GAAP requires that fixed manufacturing overhead be treated as a product cost. LO 6 Explain the difference between absorption costing and variable costing. Appendix 19A Absorption Costing versus Variable Costing

53. 19-53 Illustration: Premium Products Corporation manufactures a polyurethane sealant, called Fix-It, for car windshields. Relevant data for Fix-It in January 2014, the first month of production, are as follows. LO 6 Explain the difference between absorption costing and variable costing. Illustration 19A-2 Comparing Absorption with Variable Costing Appendix 19A Absorption Costing versus Variable Costing

54. 19-54 Per unit manufacturing cost under each approach. LO 6 Explain the difference between absorption costing and variable costing. Illustration 19A-3 The manufacturing cost per unit is $4 ($13 -$9) higher for absorption costing because fixed manufacturing costs are treated as product costs.

56. 19-56 LO 6 Variable Costing Example Illustration 19A-5 Appendix 19A Absorption Costing versus Variable Costing

57. 19-57  If production volume exceeds sales volume, net income under absorption costing will exceed net income under variable costing by the amount of fixed manufacturing costs included in ending inventory that results from units produced but not sold during the period.  If production volume is less than sales volume, net income under absorption costing will be less than under variable costing by the amount of fixed manufacturing costs included in the units sold during the period that were not produced during the period. An Extended Example Appendix 19A Absorption Costing versus Variable Costing LO 7 Discuss net income effects under absorption costing versus variable costing.

Part of ending inventory costs under both absorption and variable costing. Review Question LO 7 Discuss net income effects under absorption costing versus variable costing. Appendix 19A Absorption Costing versus Variable Costing

60. 19-60 Decision-Making Concerns LO 8 Discuss the merits of absorption versus variable costing for management decision making.  Generally accepted accounting principles require that absorption costing be used for the costing of inventory for external reporting purposes.  Net income measured under GAAP (absorption costing) is often used internally to ► evaluate performance, ► justify cost reductions, or ► evaluate new projects. Appendix 19A Absorption Costing versus Variable Costing

61. 19-61 LO 8 Discuss the merits of absorption versus variable costing for management decision making.  Some companies have recognized that net income calculated using GAAP does not highlight differences between variable and fixed costs and may lead to poor business decisions.  These companies use variable costing for internal reporting purposes. Decision-Making Concerns Appendix 19A Absorption Costing versus Variable Costing

62. 19-62 Potential Advantages of Variable Costing LO 8 Discuss the merits of absorption versus variable costing for management decision making.  The use of variable costing is consistent with cost–volume– profit analysis.  Net income under variable costing is unaffected by changes in production levels. Instead, it is closely tied to changes in sales.  The presentation of fixed costs in the variable costing approach makes it easier to identify fixed costs and to evaluate their impact on the company’s profitability.
