Problem 5 Howard Industries Inc., operating at full capacity, sold 64,000 units at a price of $45 per unit during 2014. Its income statement for 2014 shown in the attached Excel document. The division of costs between variable and fixed is as follows: Cost of goods sold Selling Expenses Administrative Expenses Variable 75% 60% 80% Fixed 25% 40% 20% Management is considering a plant expansion program that will permit an increase of $900,000 in yearly sales. The expansion will increase fixed costs by $212,500, but will not affect the relationship between sales and variables costs. 1. Determine the total fixed costs and the total variable costs for 2014. 2. Determine for 2014 (a) the unit variable cost and (b) the unit contribution margin 3. Compute the break-even sales (units) for 2014. 4. Compute the break-even sales (units) under the proposed program. 5. Determine the amount of sales (units) that would be necessary under the proposed pro- gram to realize the 8692,500 of income from operations that was earned in 2014 6. Determine the maxi income from operations possible with the expanded plant. 7. If the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the 2014 level, what will the income or loss from operations be for 2015? 8. Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal?
