Question

(TCO 2) Katie Enterprises reports the year-end information from 20X8 as follows: Sales (70,000 units) $560,000; Cost of goods sold 210,000; Gross margin 350,000; Operating expenses 200,000; Operating income $150,000.  Katie is developing the 20X2 budget.  In 20X2, the company would like to increase selling prices by 4%, and as a result expects a decrease in sales volume of 10%.  All other operating expenses are expected to remain constant.  Assume that COGS is a variable cost and that operating expenses are a fixed cost.  What is budgeted operating income for 20X2? (Points : 3)

Explanation / Answer

Price per unit = 560000/70000= $8

Cost per unit = 210000/70000 = $3

New sales volume = 70000*(1-10%)=63000

new selling price =8*(1+4%) = $8.32

budgeted operating income for 20X2 = 8.32*63000- 3*63000-200000=$135,160
