(a) Determine the annual break-even point in sales revenue. Round contribution margin ratio to two decimal places for your calculation. Round final answer to nearest dollar.
(b) Determine the annual margin of safety in sales revenue. Use rounded answer from above for calculation.
(c) What is the break-even point in sales revenue if management makes a decision that increases fixed costs by $57,000? Use rounded contribution margin ratio (2 decimal places) for your calculation.
(d) With the current cost structure, including fixed costs of $285,000, what dollar sales revenue is required to provide an after-tax net income of $200,000?Use rounded contribution margin (2 decimal places) for calculation. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
(e) Prepare an abbreviated contribution income statement to verify that the solution to requirement (d) will provide the desired after-tax income.
Use rounded contribution margin (2 decimal places) for variable cost/contribution margin computations.

Zachary company produces commercial gardening equipment. since production is highly automated, the company allocates its overhead costs to product lines using activity-based costing. the costs and cost drivers associated with the four overhead activity cost pools follow: activities unit level batch level product level facility level cost $ 64,800 $ 27,730 $ 15,000 $ 154,000 cost driver 2,400 labor hrs. 47 setups percentage of use 11,000 units production of 780 sets of cutting shears, one of the company’s 20 products, took 240 labor hours and 7 setups and consumed 15 percent of the product-sustaining activities. required: (a) had the company used labor hours as a company wide allocation base, how much overhead would it have allocated to the cutting shears? (b) how much overhead is allocated to the cutting shears using activity-based costing? (c) compute the overhead cost per unit for cutting shears first using activity-based costing and then using direct labor hours for allocation if 780 units are produced. if direct product costs are $150 and the product is priced at 30 percent above cost for what price would the product sell under each allocation system? (d) assuming that activity-based costing provides a more accurate estimate of cost, indicate whether the cutting shears would be over- or underpriced if direct labor hours are used as an allocation base. explain how over-or undercosting can affect vaulker's profitability. (e) comment on the validity of using the allocated facility-level cost in the pricing decision. should other costs be considered in a cost- plus pricing decision? if so, which ones? what costs would you include if you were trying to decide whether to accept a special order?
