Accounting

Reveen Products sells camping equipment. One of the company's products, a camp lantern, sells

for $90 per unit. Variable expenses are $63 per lantern, and fixed expenses associated with the

lantern total $135,000 per month.

Required:

1. Compute the company's break-even point in number of lanterns and in total sales dollars.

2. If the variable expenses per lantern increase as a percentage of the selling price, will it result in a

higher or a lower break-even point? Why? (Assume that the fixed expenses remain unchanged.)

3. At present, the company is selling 8,000 lanterns per month. The sales manager is convinced

that a 10% reduction in the selling price will result in a 25% increase in the number of lanterns

sold each month. Prepare two contribution format income statements, one under present oper-

ating conditions, and one as operations would appear after the proposed changes. Show both

total and per unit data on your statements.

4. Refer to the data in (3) above. How many lanterns would have to be sold at the new selling

price to yield a minimum net operating income of $72,000 per month?
