Required 1. Present yearly net operating income or loss:According to the given data,Selling price per unit = SFr90
Variable expenses per unit = SFr60
Fixed expenses per year = SFr840,000
Annual sales volume = 25,000 unitsNET OPERATING INCOME OR LOSSSales 25,000units*SFr90 SFr2,250,000
Less Variable cost 25,000units*SFr60 SFr1,500,000
Contribution margin SFr750,00
Less Fixed cost. SFr840000
Net operating loss. (SFr90,000)Present breakeven point = Fixed cost/ selling price -VC
Therefore selling price per unit VC per unit = SFr90per unit-SFr60 = SFr30 per unit
= SFr840000/SFr30 per unit = 28000 units
Break-even point in Swiss franc = 28000 units*SFr90 per unit = SFr2,520,000
1. Company can earn the maximum profit at 50000 units at which point the sale price will be SFr80 per unit.
NET OPERATING INCOME OR LOSS
Sales 50000units*SFr80 per unit SFr4,000,000
Less Variable cost 50000units*SFr60 SFr3,000,000
Contribution margin SFr1000,000
Less Fixed cost SFr840,000Net operating income SFr160,0002. Break even point at selling price of SFr80 per unitBreakeven point = Fixed cost/ selling price VC
Therefore selling price per unit-VC per unit=SFr80 per unit-SFr60 per unit
= SFr840,000/SFr20 per unit = 42,000 units
Break-even point in Swiss franc = 42,000 units* SFr80 per unit = SFr3,360,000
This break-even point is changed from the one calculated in above. Selling price per unit variable cost per unit has decreased from SFr30 per unit to SFr20 per unit and therefore the company has to create more sales to cover fixed cost incurred.3.

Net Operating Loss.($48,000)
REQUIRED 2Refer to the contribution format income statements in (Required 1) abovea) The degree of operating leverage = Contribution margin/Net operating incomeTherefore, Present operation = $240,000/$48,000 = 5Proposed Operations = $480,000/$48,000 = 10
b) Break-even point in dollars = Fixed cost/ CM ratioTherefore, Present Operations = $192,000/0.30 = $640,000Proposed Operations = $432,000/0.60 =$720,000c) Margin of safety in dollars = Actual sales Break-even salesTherefore, Present Operations = $80,000 $640,000 = $160,000Proposed Operations = $800,000 $720,000 = $80,000
Margin of safety in percentage = Margin of safety in dollars/Actual sales * 100%Therefore, Present Operations = $160,000/$800,000 * 100% = 20%Proposed Operation = $80,000/$800,000 * 100% = 10%
Required 3.Cyclical Movement in economy. For the reason that the new equipment will increase the CM ratio, in years of sturdy economic operation, the Frieden Company will be in good standing with the new equipment. Nevertheless, the company will be out of shape with the new equipment in years in which sales fall. The fixed costs of the new equipment will consequence in losses being spent more rapidly and they will be unfathomable. Therefore, management team should make decision as to the possible for maximum profits in worthy years is worth the threat of unfathomable losses in unscrupulous yearsRequired 4.
New variable expenses:
Profit = (Sales Variable expenses) Fixed expenses
$60,000 = ($1,200,000 Variable expenses) $240,000
Variable expenses = $1,200,000 $240,000 $60,000
= $900,000
New level of sales:
$1,200,000/$800,000 = $ 1.5
$800,000 *1.5 = $1,200,000
New level of net operating income:
$60,000/$48,000 = $1.25
$48,000 *1.25 = $60,000
New CM ratio
Sales $1,200,000 100 %
Less Variable expenses $900,000 75 %
Contribution margin $ 300,000 25 %With the above data, the new break-even point can be calculated as:
Break-even point in sales dollars = fixed cost/CM ration
Therefore, $240,000/25%
$240,000/0.25 = $960,000
