  • Question 1 $

    1.current annual operating = 5000000 * (0.5-0.3) - 900000 = 100000

    2.the present breakeven point :

    units = 900000 / (0.5-0.3) = 4500000

    revenues = 4500000 * 0.5 = 2250000

    3.new operating

    = 5000000*(1+40%)* [0.5*(1 -20%)- 0.3*(1-10%)] -900000*(1 - 20%) = 190000

    4.the new breakeven point :

    units =(900000 + 20000) / [0.5 *(1+10%)-0.3 ]= 3680000

    revenues = 3680000 * 0.5 *(1+10%) = 2024000

    Question 2 $

    1.static budget-based variance analysis of the September performance:

    current annual operating = 15000 * (20-8)- 145000 = 35000

    2.flexible budget-based variance analysis of the September performance:

    current annual operating = 12000 * (21-7)- 150000 = 18000

    3.Because of (or Premise Analysis ):

    operating budget::15000 * (20-8)- 145000 = 35000

    Circulation 1 :12000 * (20-8)- 145000 = -1000

    Circulation 2 :12000 * (21-8)- 145000 = 11000

    Circulation 3 :12000 * (21-7)- 150000 = 18000

    variance analysis:

    decrease in selling :-1000 - 35000 = - 36000

    cost impact :11000 - (-1000) = 12000

    selling price :18000 - 11000 = 7000

    All the factors :- 36000 +12000 + 7000 = -17000

    Accordingly,Find the flexible-budget-based variance analysis more informative than the static-budget-based variance analysis.
