(A) Break-even and target profit
PIA Motors is a small automobile manufacturer. Edward Smith , the
company’s president, is currently evaluating the company’s performance and
is considering options that might be effective at increasing PIA’s profitability.
The company’s controller, Nolly White, has prepared the following cost and
expense estimates for next year based on a sales forecast of $3 000 000.
Direct materials $ 800 000
Direct labor 700 000
Factory overhead 750 000
Selling expenses 300 000
Other administrative expenses 100 000
$2 650 000
After Edward received and reviewed the cost and expense estimates, he
realized that Nolly had given him all the data without breaking it out into its
fixed and variable components. He called her and she told him the following:
‘Factory overhead and selling expenses are 40 per cent variable, but other
administrative expenses are 30 per cent variable.’
