| Use regressionand show the equation used forRandom to separate overhead into fixed and variable components. | ||||||||||||
| How much of the change in costs will this equation predict? | ||||||||||||
| What is the variable cost per unit for overhead? Round to the nearest cent | ||||||||||||
| What is the fixed overhead cost per month? Round to the nearest dollar | ||||||||||||
| Random analyzes their other costs and finds the following (in addition to the overhead costs above): | ||||||||||||
| Direct Mat | Each unit of inventory uses 2 gallons of materials and each gallon costs $3 | |||||||||||
| Direct Labor | On average a worker can produce 16 units of product in an 8 hour shift and gets paid $200 for that shift (how much per unit?) | |||||||||||
| Each month Random spends $27,500 on selling and administration costs | ||||||||||||
| Sales price for 2023 is estimated at $38 per unit | ||||||||||||
| What is Random's contribution margin per unit? Round to the nearest cent | ||||||||||||
| How many units does Random need to sell in a month to break even in 2023? | ||||||||||||
| How many units does Random need to sell in a month to make $20,000 of profit before taxes? | ||||||||||||
| How much in dollars must Random sell in a month to make $90,000 in profit before taxes? | ||||||||||||
| Show the predicted contribution margin format income statement for January if production and sales are 7,100 units for January 2023 | ||||||||||||
| Show the predicted contribution margin format income statement for February 2023 if sales increase from January by 200 units. | ||||||||||||
| Also in February, selling costs are increased by $2,000/month, a new machine increases fixed overhead by $6,000 | ||||||||||||
| and makes it so that workers can make 24 in a shift (changes the direct labor per unit) | ||||||||||||
| Other costs should be consistent with January. | ||||||||||||
