Jim Wright is considering opening a Kwik Oil Change Center. He estimates that the following costs will be
incurred during his first year of operations: Rent $6,000, Depreciation on equipment $7,000, Wages $16,400,
Motor oil $1.80 per quart. He estimates that each oil change will require 5 quarts of oil. Oil filters will cost $3.00
each. He must also pay The Kwik Corporation a franchise fee of $1.40 per oil change, since he will operate the
business as a franchise. In addition, utility costs are expected to behave in relation to the number of oil changes
as follows:
Number of Oil Changes Utility Costs
4,000 $ 6,000
6,000 $ 7,300
9,000 $ 9,600
12,000 $12,600
19,000 $15,000
Mr. Wright anticipates that he can provide the oil change service with a filter at $20.00 each.
Instructions
(a) Using the high-low method, determine variable costs per unit and total fixed costs.
(b) Determine the break-even point in number of oil changes and sales dollars.
(c) Without regard to your answers in parts (a) and (b), determine the oil changes required to earn net income
of $20,000, assuming fixed costs are $32,000 and the contribution margin per unit is $8.
Solution
(a) Separation of mixed costs:
($15,000 – $6,000) $9,000
Change in cost/Change in quantity: ————————— = ——— = $.60 per oil change
(19,000 – 4,000) 15,000

(b) If absorption costing had been used, Tanner would report income from operations of $5,000. Under
absorption costing, fixed manufacturing overhead of $9,000* would be allocated as a product cost and would
be part of the value of the finished goods inventory on the balance sheet. Therefore, income under
absorption costing would be $9,000 greater than the $4,000 loss under variable costing.
*$36,000 ÷ 12,000 = $3 unit fixed manufacturing overhead
Ending inventory = 3,000 units × $3 = $9,000
Instructions
Answer the following questions.
(a) What would be the amount of the cost of goods sold under the absorption costing approach?
(b) What would be the cost of the ending inventory under the variable costing approach?
(c) Which approach would show the greater income for 2008 and by how much?

(a) Cost of goods sold under the absorption costing approach would be $240,000
(20,000 units × $12).
(b) Cost of ending inventory under the variable costing approach would be $42,000
(5,000 units × $8.40).
(c) Absorption costing income in 2008 would be greater by $18,000 (5,000 units × $3.60).

(AQ × AP) – (AQ × SP)
(164,000 × $4.20) – (164,000 × $4.00) = $688,800 – $656,000 = $32,800
2. Direct materials quantity variance = $28,000 Favorable.
(AQ × SP) – (SQ × SP)
(145,000 × $4.00) – (152,000* × $4.00) = $580,000 – $608,000 = $28,000
*SQ = 76,000 × 2 pounds = 152,000 pounds
3. Direct labor price variance = $11,730 Favorable.
(AH × AR) – (AH × SR)
(39,100 × $9.70) – (39,100 × $10.00) = $379,270 – $391,000 = $11,730
4. Direct labor quantity variance = $11,000 Unfavorable.
(AH × SR) – (SH × SR)
(39,100 × $10.00) – (38,000* × $10.00) = $391,000 – $380,000 = $11,000
*SH = 76,000 × 1/2 hour = 38,000 hours
5. Actual overhead – Overhead applied = Total overhead variance.
$235,000 – $228,000* = $7,000 Unfavorable
*SH = 38,000 × $6.00 = $228,000

SOLUTION:
Wimmer is considering a project with sales of $120,000, expenses of $84,000, and an investment of $180,000.
Wimmer’s required rate of return is 15%.
Instructions
Determine whether Wimmer should accept this project.
Solution
Current ROI = $150,000 ÷ $500,000 = 30%
ROI of new project = $36,000 ÷ $180,000 = 20%
New ROI with project = [$150,000 + $36,000] ÷ [$500,000 + $180,000] = 27.4%
While ROI decreases, that does not make this a bad investment, since many projects cause total ROI to fall even
though they increase value of the division. The determination is based on how the ROI of the project compares
to the required rate of return. The company is not willing to accept any projects with an investment less than
15%, so the 20% project should be accepted.
An investment center manager is considering three possible investments. The company’s required return is 10%.
The required asset investment, controllable margins, and the ROIs of each investment are as follows:
Project Average Investment Controllable Margin ROI
Bud $160,000 $32,000 20.0%
Wise 140,000 16,000 11.4%
Er 220,000 66,000 30%
The investment center is currently generating an ROI of 25% based on $1,200,000 in operating assets and a
controllable margin of $300,000.
Instructions
If the manager can select only one project, determine which one is the best choice to increase the investment
center's ROI. Compute how much the investment center’s ROI will be if the manager selects your
recommendation.
Solution
Er is the best choice because it increases the ROI (30% is greater than 25%).
Project New ROI
Bud ($300,000 + $32,000) ÷ ($1,200,000 + $160,000) = 24.4%
Wise ($300,000 + $16,000) ÷ ($1,200,000 + $140,000) = 23.6%
Er ($300,000 + $66,000) ÷ ($1,200,000 + $220,000) = 25.8%

Less allocated fixed costs 12,453 7,547 20,000
Net income $15,347 $ 4,453 $ 19,800
Calculations:
Revenue = $70,000 × 110% = $77,000
Variable costs = $32,000 × 110% = $35,200
Allocation of total allocated fixed costs of $20,000:
To Bud: [3,300 ÷ (3,300 + 2,000)] × $20,000 = $12,453
To Er: [2,000 ÷ (3,300 + 2,000)] × $20,000 = $7,547
(b) No. The profit decreases by $1,200 ($21,000 – $19,800) when the division is eliminated. The increase in
sales by 10% of the Bud division was not enough to offset the loss of the Wise division.
Simon Forest Corporation operates two divisions, the Timber Division and the Consumer Division. The Timber
Division manufactures and sells logs to paper manufacturers. The Consumer Division operates retail lumber
mills which sell a variety of products in the do-it-yourself homeowner market. The company is considering
disposing of the Consumer Division since it has been consistently unprofitable for a number of years. The income
statements for the two divisions for the year ended December 31, 2008 are presented below:
Timber Division Consumer Division Total
Sales $1,500,000 $500,000 $2,000,000
Cost of goods sold 900,000 350,000 1,250,000
Gross profit 600,000 150,000 750,000
Selling & administrative expenses 250,000 180,000 430,000
Net income $ 350,000 $ (30,000) $ 320,000
In the Consumer Division, 70% of the cost of goods sold are variable costs and 25% of selling and administrative
expenses are variable costs. The management of the company feels it can save $45,000 of fixed cost of goods
sold and $60,000 of fixed selling expenses if it discontinues operation of the Consumer Division.
Instructions
(a) Determine whether the company should discontinue operating the Consumer Division.
(b) If the company had discontinued the division for 2008, determine what net income would have been.
Solution
(a) CONSUMER DIVISION
Net Income
Continue Eliminate Increase (Decrease)
Sales $500,000 $ -0- $(500,000)
Variable expenses:
Cost of goods sold 245,000 (A) -0- 245,000
Selling and admin. exp. 45,000 (B) -0- 45,000
Contribution margin 210,000 -0- (210,000)
Fixed expenses:
Cost of goods sold 105,000 (C) 60,000 45,000
Selling and admin. exp. 135,000 (D) 75,000 60,000
Net income $ (30,000) $(135,000) $(105,000)
The company should continue the Consumer Division because contribution margin, $210,000, is greater than
the avoidable fixed costs, $105,000.
(b) Net income for the total company would have been $245,000:
Timber Division + Decrease in Net Income
$350,000 + $(105,000) = $245,000
A recent accounting graduate from Missouri State University evaluated the operating perform-ance of Boswell
Company's four divisions. The following presentation was made to Boswell's Board of Directors. During the
presentation, the accountant made the recommendation to eliminate the Southern Division stating that total net
income would increase by $60,000. (See analysis below.)
Other Three Divisions Southern Division Total
Sales $2,000,000 $480,000 $2,480,000
Cost of Goods Sold 950,000 400,000 1,350,000
Gross Profit 1,050,000 80,000 1,130,000
Operating Expenses 800,000 140,000 940,000
Net Income $ 250,000 $ (60,000) $ 190,000
For the other divisions, cost of goods sold is 80% variable and operating expenses are 70% variable. The cost
of goods sold for the Southern Division is 35% fixed, and its operating expenses are 75% fixed. If the division is
eliminated, only $10,000 of the fixed operating costs will be eliminated.

Solution
Net Income
Continue Eliminate Increase (Decrease)
Sales $480,000 $ -0- $(480,000)
Variable Expenses
Cost of goods sold 260,000 -0- 260,000
Operating expenses 35,000 -0- 35,000
Total Variable 295,000 -0- 295,000
Contribution Margin 185,000 -0- (185,000)
Fixed Expenses
Cost of goods sold 140,000 140,000 -0-
Operating expenses 105,000 95,000 10,000
Net Income (Loss) $ (60,000) $(235,000) $(175,000)
The accountant is not correct. If the Southern Division is eliminated, the net income will be $175,000 less, not
$60,000 greater.
The reduction in income is the result of the loss of the contribution margin less the avoidable fixed costs of
$10,000.
