The reason we say that we need to continue this product is due to the common fixed cost associated with it. A common fixed cost is a fixed cost that supports the operation of more than one segment of an organisation and is not avoidable in whole or part even if we try to eliminate one segment. The general factory overhead which itself has $27,000 associated with will still persist and will incur with other products in their overhead cost reducing the profit from other segments. This will drop the overall net operating income of the company. Hence to see it more clearly before making any decision, the company need to drop the overhead cost of company as it is a common cost to the company. A more useful profitability income statement for the case will …show more content…
We can clearly see that the Round trampoline is generating segment margin of $10,000 and is covering all of its own traceable fixed costs. Now in this situation, unless the company find something which can create higher segment margin than $10,000 towards the company net operating income, the idea to drop the product will lead to drop in total net profit income of company.
Cost Profit and Break Even Analysis
Contribution margin ratio is the contribution from an activity expressed as a percentage of the sales, thus in case of round trampolines the contribution margin will be:
Contribution margin ratio= (Contribution/Sales Revenue)*100 = (75,000/130,000)*100 = 57.7%
Break Even in Sales = Fixed Cost/Contribution Margin = 92,000/0.57 =
Legal Organization Status Airbound Trampoline Park is a Legal Liability Corporation (LLC). A Legal Liability Corporation is a form of “business structure that mixes pass-through taxation of a partnership or sole proprietorship with the limited liability of a corporation” (Wikipedia). This means that the owner(s) of the company pay taxes on profits acquired by the business on their own personal tax returns, while still obtaining the perks of not being held liable for liabilities or possible debts of the company. Despite having the name “Corporation” in the title, a LLC is technically considered a legal form of a company rather than a corporation. Legal Liability Corporations are considered “easy going” and “flexible” which makes them great

Case Study #1 Andrew Gonzalez Saint Leo University MGT 417 Case Study #1 The Meridian water pump case is about a small company that produces small water pumps. There was a meeting held within the department managers that pertained to making medium size pumps for the next 6months. Arguments were recorded between the marketing and sales manager, production manager, HR manager and finance manager. It seems to me that all were pointing the finger at one another on why things couldn’t get done and each department was slowing the other down by not efficiently running their departments.
Abstract The Wilkerson Company started facing declination in profits due to the price cutting on their pumps. On the contrary, while the price pumps were decreasing to record numbers, the flow controllers, which controlled the rate and direction flow of chemicals, could increase its prices without significant loss or any competitive response. Wilkerson, his controller, and manufacturing manager developed an activity-based cost model (ABC) to better comprehend the various demands that each product line makes on the organization 's indirect and support resources. Exhibit 1 showed us our operating results, Exhibit 2 showed us our product profitability analysis, Exhibit 3 displayed our product data, and Exhibit 4 was a compilation of the monthly
Owners and managers of Alphabet Games, should not make decisions related to running their business according to their own premonitions. They should rely less on intuition, instead, their choices should be supported by hard numbers and analyses. One of such methods is the analysis of five Porter's forces which should be applied before attempting to enter a given market, expand or subsequent development. The analysis serves a purpose to assess the attractiveness of the sector and is based on few different factors that are related to the company's environment: bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of buyers, competition inside the sector, the threat of the emergence of new producers and threat of substitutes. This model provides a framework
McClintock should listen to Mr. Hoffman and use his suggestion. Why? How would level production contribute the company? Level production represents the use of labor and resource evenly over the whole year. Even though it seems that the costs would increase with the storage space needed, in fact the total costs will decrease.
Profitability ratios which will be used on this paper
The organization is concerned about the cost reduction in other parts of the business because there was no control on the fuel costs that increased for years. Cost reduction was a very important that
In order to, analyze the company’s performance, we will closely focus on financial performance which is the degree to which financial objectives have been accomplished. This process measures the result of the overall financial health of the company over a period. The most efficient and effective metrics we choose were the improving operating income and return on equity and increasing sales, earning per share.

Part I: In 250 words or less, express your motivations for choosing Kinesiology as a major and how it relates to your future goals. I have wanted to pursue a career in the medical field since I was a child. In high school, this passion was put to the test after I suffered a bilateral hip injury that made mundane tasks like going up stairs, getting dressed, or even standing a painful and taxing ordeal. I was advised to quit all physical activity by my team of doctors, but as a three sport athlete for me that was not an option.
A profit and loss statement or P&L is a financial statement that recapitulate the revenues, costs and expenses sustained during a specific period of time usually taken place in a budgetary quarter or a year. The data acquired by this method is used to provide information of the company’s ability or loss thereof to generate profit by increasing revenue (+) or reducing costs (-) or sometimes even both. The year of 2017 has been a rough year for major independent record labels, in terms of the album sales that have continued to decline steadily throughout the past few years due to the presence of other music streaming platforms and according to Amy Macy, “the consumers [began] looking elsewhere to satiate their burgeoning musical
Based on our calculations in Appendix 1. at the first stage support costs were allocated to two existing departments, i.e. Machining and Assembly, based on direct labor hours. Therefore total amount of costs assigned to Machining department is $472.000,00 and to Assembly department is $248.000,00. At the second stage total costs from both departments were distributed to products (Regular and Deluxe). Referring to our calculations in Appendix 1.
This reduced the company’s inventory costs by over 20% which improved delivery
Direct labor which is a human resource will be recalculated on the basis of sales of 3 million bikes. It may happen to produce 1 million products, they require 50000 employees but to produce 3 million products they require 200000 employees and to be on safer size, 10% extra labor will be recruited which will give a total of 220000 employees. Therefore it is clearly understood that the company can prepare their Labor Requirement budget directly from the sales budget. The same concept will apply to overhead and capital expenditures because overheads are directly proportional to the production and if the sales are high, product will automatically are high. Similarly quantity requirement will lead to the requirement of machines.
II. Problems of the Case Study 1. Considering company’s budget is very limited, installation of the new technology might affect the financial position in the next year operation. 2.
