Answer:

Hixson Company

1. Total amount of product costs incurred to make 25,000 units is:

= $500,000

Total amount of period costs incurred to sell 25,000 units is:

= $187,500

2. Variable manufacturing cost per unit of 24,000 units is:

= $14.00

The fixed manufacturing cost per unit is:

= $6.25

3. The variable manufacturing cost per unit is:

= $14.00

The fixed manufacturing cost per unit produced is:

= $5.77

4. If 27,000 are produced, the total amounts of direct and indirect manufacturing costs incurred to support this level of production are:

Direct manufacturing costs = $378,000

Indirect manufacturing costs = $150,000

5. The total incremental manufacturing cost that Hixson will incur if it increases production from 25,000 to 25,001 units is:

= $14.

6. Contribution margin per unit is:

= $15

Contribution margin ratio is:

= 44%

7. Break-even point in unit sales is:

= 20,000 units

Break-even point in dollars sales = $300,000/44.1176%

= $680,000

8. The net operating income will increase to $97,500 ($15 * 6,500)if it can grow production and sales from 25,000 to 26,500.

9. Hixson's margin of safety at sales volume of 25,000 units is:

= $170,000

10. Degree of operating leverage at a sales volume of 25,000 units is:

= 3.85

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Selling price per unit = $34

Production and sales unit = 25,000 units

Unit costs at 25,000 units

                                                      Per Unit

Direct materials                                $8.00

Direct labor                                       $5.00

Variable manufacturing overhead   $1.00

Fixed manufacturing overhead      $6.00

Fixed selling expense                     $3.50

Fixed administrative expense        $2.50

Sales commissions                         $4.00

Variable administrative expense    $1.00

Total cost per unit                         $31.00

Product costs (financial accounting):

                                                       Per Unit

Direct materials                                $8.00

Direct labor                                       $5.00

Variable manufacturing overhead   $1.00

Fixed manufacturing overhead       $6.00

Total product costs per unit          $20.00

Period costs:

Fixed selling expense                     $3.50  

Sales commissions                         $4.00

Total selling period costs per unit $7.50

1. Total amount of product costs incurred to make 25,000 units is:

= $500,000 ($20 * 25,000)

Total amount of period costs incurred to sell 25,000 units is:

= $187,500 ($7.50 * 25,000)

2. Variable manufacturing cost per unit of 24,000 units is:

= $14.00

The fixed manufacturing cost per unit is:

= $6.25 ($6 * 25,000/24,000)

3. The variable manufacturing cost per unit is:

= $14.00

The fixed manufacturing cost per unit produced is:

= $5.77 ($6 * 25,000/26,000)

4. If 27,000 are produced, the total amounts of direct and indirect manufacturing costs incurred to support this level of production are:

Direct manufacturing costs = $378,000 ($14 * 27,000)

Indirect manufacturing costs = $150,000 ($6 * 25,000)

5. The total incremental manufacturing cost that Hixson will incur if it increases production from 25,000 to 25,001 units is $14.

Contribution margin per unit:

Selling price = $34

Variable costs = 19

Contribution  = $15

6. Contribution margin per unit is $15 ($34 - $19).

Contribution margin ratio is 44% ($15/$34 * 100)

7. Break-even point in unit sales = FC/CM per unit

= $300,000/$15

= 20,000 units

Break-even point in dollars sales = $300,000/44.1176%

= $680,000 (20,000 * $34)

8. The net operating income will increase to $97,500 ($15 * 6,500)if it can grow production and sales from 25,000 to 26,500.

9. Hixson's margin of safety at sales volume of 25,000 units is:

= $170,000 ($850,000 - $680,000)

10. Degree of operating leverage at a sales volume of 25,000 units is:

= Contribution margin/net operating income

= $375,000/$97,500

= 3.85
