Current Designs manufactures two different types of kayaks, roto


The company's fixed costs are $820,000. An analysis of the sales mix identifies that rotomolded kayaks make up 80% of the total units sold.

Instructions
(a) Determine the weighted-average unit contribution margin for Current Designs.
(b) Determine the break-even point in units for Current Designs and identify how many units of each type of kayak will be sold at the break-even point.
(c) Assume that the sales mix changes, and rotomolded kayaks now make up 70% of total units sold. Calculate the total number of units that would need to be sold to earn a net income of $2,000,000 and identify how many units of each type of kayak will be sold at this level of income.
(d) Assume that Current Designs will have sales of $3,000,000 with two-thirds of the sales dollars in rotomolded kayaks and one-third of the sales dollars in composite kayaks. Assuming $660,000 of fixed costs are allocated to the rotomolded kayaks and $160,000 to the composite kayaks, prepare a CVP income statement for each product line.
(e) Using the information in part (d), calculate the degree of operating leverage for each product line and interpret your findings.
