Rossiter Fittings produces two models of pipe fittings for underwater lines. The two models (RF-12 and RF-25) have the following:
RF-12:
Selling price per unit: $427
Variable cost per unit: $347
Expected units sold per year: 3,627
RF-25:
Selling price per unit: $567
Variable cost per unit: $407
Expected units sold per year: 12,493
The total fixed costs per year for the company are $1,164,400.
Required:
a. What is the anticipated level of profits for the expected sales volumes?
b. Assuming that the product mix is the same at the break-even point, compute the break-even point in units.
c. The head of marketing agrees with the data provided by the cost analyst but believes that the sales of the RF-12 model will be double in units from what the cost analyst predicts. The head of marketing agrees that the total unit volume is likely to be as predicted by the cost analyst. What would be the break-even point of sales in units using the assumptions of the head of marketing?
