Case5: Analysis Of different costs of Best Manufacturing Group Corporation

The Best Manufacturing Group Corporation manufactures four products in separate factories and then markets them through different channels. The company’s accountant has asked several members to describe their expectations of the business environment for the coming year. Each member was asked to write up his personal outlook, including changes in selling prices, product demand, variable production costs, and variable selling costs, fixed production costs, and fixed selling and administrative costs.

At a recent staff meeting, the four vice president’s of different departments met and made suggestions regarding the profitability of the company. The VP Data Processing, VP Finance, and VP Sales have made their suggestions about the expected business environment for the coming year. As a consultant to the company, comment on the suggestions made by the vice president of the four departments.

The income statement for the company in contribution income statement format is given as under:

Particulars (Rs) (Rs)

Total Sales (66,000 Units at Rs 12.00 per unit)Less: Variable Production Costs (66,000 Units @ Rs 4.40 per unit) Variable Selling Costs (66,000 Units @Rs 2.80 per unit)Total Variable CostsContribution MarginLess: Fixed Production CostsFixed Selling and Administrative CostsTotal Fixed CostsIncome Before Taxes

1. Changes in Production Costs Only: The manager of production believes that variable production costs will increase by 10 percent and that fixed production costs will rise by 5 percent. With no other anticipated changes, what is the projected profit for the coming year?

Particulars (Rs) (Rs)Total Sales (66,000 Units at Rs 12.00 per unit)Less: Variable Production Costs (66,000 Units @ Rs 4.84 per unit) Variable Selling Costs (66,000 Units @Rs 2.80 per unit)Total Variable CostsContribution MarginLess: Fixed Production Costs (Rs 1,30,500 x 1.05) Fixed Selling and Administrative Costs Total Fixed CostsProjected Income before Taxes

7,92,000

5,04,2402,87,7601,37,025

48,2001,85,2251,02,535

Thus, if the variable and fixed production costs do not change and no adjustments to selling price or volume are made, the company’s profit will decrease by Rs 35,565. Because both variables and fixed production costs are projected to increase, management may want to increase the selling price to offset the rise in costs. Increasing the number of units produced and sold also would help offset the higher fixed costs. Because the production manger has commented on only production costs, the controller should try to augment the forecast by having other managers develop projections in their areas of expertise.

Page 23: Module

2. Changes in All Cost Areas: all costs will change, according to the manager of data processing. He believes that all variable costs will go up by 10 percent, and that all fixed costs will rise by 5 percent. He does not anticipate any other changes.

Particulars (Rs) (Rs)Total Sales (66,000 Units at Rs 12.00 per unit)Less: Variable Production Costs (66,000 Units @ Rs 4.84 per unit)Variable Selling Costs (66,000 Units @Rs 2.80 per unit)Total Variable CostsContribution MarginLess: Fixed Production Costs (Rs 1,30,500 x 1.05)Fixed Selling and Administrative Costs (48,200 x 1.05)Total Fixed CostsProjected Income before Taxes

Like the manager of production, the manager of data processing has concentrated only on projected costs. In this scenario, all costs are expected to increase. Profit decrease to Rs 81,645.

3. Changes in Demand and in All Costs Areas: The manager of Finance anticipates volume changes as well as changes in all cost areas. He believes that unit demand will increase by 8 percent, all variable costs will go up by 20 percent, and all fixed costs will decrease by 10 percent.

Particulars (Rs) (Rs)Total Sales (71,280Units at Rs 12.00 per unit)Less: Variable Production Costs (71,280Units @ Rs 5.28 per unit)

The profit here further gets reduced. The manager of finance believes not only that variable costs are going to increase but that volume also will increase.

4. Changes in Selling Price, Product Demand, and Selling Costs: According to the manager of sales, the company should increase the selling price by 10 percent, which will cause demand to fall by 8 percent. In addition, variable selling costs will go down by 5 percent, and administrative costs will go up by 10 percent.

Particulars (Rs) (Rs)Total Sales (66,720 Units at Rs 13.20 per unit)Less: Variable Production Costs (66,720 Units @ Rs 4.40 per unit)Variable Selling Costs (66,720Units @Rs 2.66 per unit)Total Variable CostsContribution MarginLess: Fixed Production Costs (Rs 1,30,500 x 0.9)Fixed Selling and Administrative Costs (48,200 x 0.9)Total Fixed CostsProjected Income before Taxes

The manager of sales has the most optimistic outlook. Overall, in this scenario, profits increase by Rs 51,201 (189,301 – 1, 38,100).

Case 5: Analysis Of different costs of Best Manufacturing Group Corporation

The Best Manufacturing Group Corporation manufactures four products in separate factories and then markets them through different channels. The company’s accountant has asked several members to describe their expectations of the business environment for the coming year. Each member was asked to write up his personal outlook, including changes in selling prices, product demand, variable production costs, and variable selling costs, fixed production costs, and fixed selling and administrative costs.

At a recent staff meeting, the four vice president’s of different departments met and made suggestions regarding the profitability of the company. The VP Data Processing, VP Finance, and VP Sales have made their suggestions about the expected business environment for the coming year. As a consultant to the company, comment on the suggestions made by the vice president of the four departments.

The income statement for the company in contribution income statement format is given as under:

Particulars (Rs) (Rs)

Total Sales (66,000 Units at Rs 12.00 per unit)Less: Variable Production Costs (66,000 Units @ Rs 4.40 per unit) Variable Selling Costs (66,000 Units @Rs 2.80 per unit)Total Variable CostsContribution MarginLess: Fixed Production CostsFixed Selling and Administrative CostsTotal Fixed CostsIncome Before Taxes

5. Changes in Production Costs Only: The manager of production believes that variable production costs will increase by 10 percent and that fixed production costs will rise by 5 percent. With no other anticipated changes, what is the projected profit for the coming year?

Particulars (Rs) (Rs)Total Sales (66,000 Units at Rs 12.00 per unit)Less: Variable Production Costs (66,000 Units @ Rs 4.84 per unit) Variable Selling Costs (66,000 Units @Rs 2.80 per unit)Total Variable CostsContribution MarginLess: Fixed Production Costs (Rs 1,30,500 x 1.05) Fixed Selling and Administrative Costs Total Fixed CostsProjected Income before Taxes

7,92,000

5,04,2402,87,7601,37,025

48,2001,85,2251,02,535

Thus, if the variable and fixed production costs do not change and no adjustments to selling price or volume are made, the company’s profit will decrease by Rs 35,565. Because both variables and fixed production costs are projected to increase, management may want to increase the selling price to offset the rise in costs. Increasing the number of units produced and sold also would help offset the higher fixed costs. Because the production manger has commented on only production costs, the controller should try to augment the forecast by having other managers develop projections in their areas of expertise.

6. Changes in All Cost Areas: all costs will change, according to the manager of data processing. He believes that all variable costs will go up by 10 percent, and that all fixed costs will rise by 5 percent. He does not anticipate any other changes.

Like the manager of production, the manager of data processing has concentrated only on projected costs. In this scenario, all costs are expected to increase. Profit decrease to Rs 81,645.

7. Changes in Demand and in All Costs Areas: The manager of Finance anticipates volume changes as well as changes in all cost areas. He believes that unit demand will increase by 8 percent, all variable costs will go up by 20 percent, and all fixed costs will decrease by 10 percent.

Particulars (Rs) (Rs)Total Sales (71,280Units at Rs 12.00 per unit)Less: Variable Production Costs (71,280Units @ Rs 5.28 per unit)Variable Selling Costs (71,280Units @Rs 3.36 per unit)

The profit here further gets reduced. The manager of finance believes not only that variable costs are going to increase but that volume also will increase.

8. Changes in Selling Price, Product Demand, and Selling Costs: According to the manager of sales, the company should increase the selling price by 10 percent, which will cause demand to fall by 8 percent. In addition, variable selling costs will go down by 5 percent, and administrative costs will go up by 10 percent.
