Compex Inc. produces microprocessors for laptops. Last year, the company recognized revenues of $2,000,000. Total costs for the period were $1,000,000, of which $250,000 were fixed.
If sales were to increase by $300,000, by how much would Computate’s operating income increase? NOTE: round values in intermediate calculations to two decimal points.
Answer :
Step 1:
Operating Income = Sales Revenue - Total Cost = 2,000,000 - 1,000,000 = $1,000,000
Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost
Fixed Cost = $250,000
Variable Cost = $ 750,000
Then let us find ,
Variable Cost Ratio = Variable cost / Sales
= 75,000/2,000,000 = 37.5 %
Step 2:
Given ,
Sales increase by $300,000
Total Sales = 2,300,000
Total Varaible Cost ( 2,300,000 * 37.5%) = 8,62,500
Total Fixed Cost = 250,000
Operating income = 1,187,500
Increase in Operating Income = $1,187,500 -$1,000,000 = $187,500
