Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $28 per unit and whose variable expense is $23 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $9,500. Required: 1. Calculate the company’s break-even point in unit sales. 2. Calculate the company’s break-even point in dollar sales. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) 3. If the company's fixed expenses increase by $600, what would become the new break-even point in unit sales? In dollar sales? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 9,500 / (28 - 23)

Break-even point in units= 1,900 units

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)=  9,500 / (5 / 28)

Break-even point (dollars)= $53,200

Finally, the fixed costs increase to $10,100:

Break-even point in units= 10,100 / 5

Break-even point in units= 2,020 units

Break-even point (dollars)= 10,100 / (5/28)

Break-even point (dollars)= $56,560

Crane Sporting Goods expects to have earnings per share of $6 in the coming year. Rather than reinvest these earnings and grow, the firm plans to pay out all of its earnings as a dividend. With these expectations of no growth, Crane's current share price is $60 and the cost of equity capital is 10%. Suppose Crane could cut its divident payout rate to 75% for the foreseeable future and use the retained earnings to open new stores. The return on investment in these stores is expected to be 12%. if we assume that the risk of these new investments is the same as the risk of its existing investments, then the firm's equity cost of capital is unchanged.
