Requirements

1.	Compute revenue and variable costs for each show.
2.	Use the equation approach to compute the number of shows Tower Productions must perform each year to break even.
3.	Use the contribution margin ratio approach to compute the number of shows needed each year to earn a profit of $4,264,000. Is this profit goal realistic? Give your reasoning.
4.	Prepare Tower Productions's contribution margin income statement for 125 shows performed in 2018. Report only two categories of costs: variable and fixed.

Select the formula and enter the amounts to compute sales revenue for each show.

			=	Sales revenue per show
			=

Part 2

Select the formula and enter the amounts to compute variable costs for each show. Compute the variable costs per show for each cost separately, and then compute the total variable costs per show.

				=	Variable costs per show
Cost of programs				=
Cost of performers				=
Total variable costs

Part 3

Requirement 2. Use the equation approach to compute the number of shows

Tower Productions

must perform each year to break even.

First, select the formula to compute the required sales in units to break even.

Target profit

Part 4

Rearrange the formula you determined above and compute the required number of shows to break even.

The number of shows needed annually to break even is

.

Part 5

Requirement 3. Use the contribution margin ratio approach to compute the number of shows needed each year to earn a profit of

$4,264,000.

Is this profit goal realistic? Give your reasoning.

Begin by showing the formula and then entering the amounts to calculate the required sales dollars to earn a profit of

$4,264,000.

(Round the required sales in dollars to the nearest whole dollar. Round amounts in the formula to two decimal places, XX.XX. Abbreviation used: CM = contribution margin.)

Part 7

Now use the information given and the required sales in dollars computed in the previous step to determine the required number of shows needed each year to earn a profit of

$4,264,000.

(Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)

The number of shows needed annually to earn a profit of $4,264,000 is

.

Part 8

Is this profit goal realistic? Give your reasoning.

The profit goal of

$4,264,000

is

unrealistic

realistic

since

Tower Productions

currently performs

125

shows a year.

Part 9

Requirement 4. Prepare

Tower Productions's

contribution margin income statement for

125

shows performed in

2018.

Report only two categories of costs: variable and fixed.
