2. JING Company plans to sell 10,000 motorcycle helmets at P1,000 each in the coming
year. Variable cost is P500 which includes direct materials, direct labor, variable
factory overhead, variable selling, and variable administrative. Total fixed cost equals
P150,000 which includes fixed factory overhead, and fixed administrative expenses.
Required: (3 points)
(a) Compute the break-even point in number of helmets
BEPu = FC / CMU = P150,000 / 500 = 300
(b) Compute for break-even sales
BEPp = FC / CMR = P150,000 / 50% = P300,000
(c) Check your answer by preparing a contribution margin statement based on the
break-even sales
Total Per Unit
Sales (300 units) P 300,000 P 1,000
Less: Variable expenses 150,000 500
Contribution Margin 150,000 500
Less: Fixed expenses 150,000
Net operating income 0

It is true that the Sales would increase by P15,000 but it is not recommendable to be
implement because it will only decrease the net operating income.
The result shows that using higher quality components would increase the net
operating income, it is recommendable to implement.
4. RICH Company has the following revenue and cost budgets for the two products it
sells:
The budgeted unit sales equal the current unit demand, and total fixed overhead for
the year is budgeted at P975,000. Assume that the company plans to maintain the
same proportional mix.
(b) The total number of units needed to break even if the budgeted direct labor costs
are P2 for plastic frames instead of P3
BSV = TBI / NIu = P975k / (6x1) + (7x3) = P975k / 27 = P36,111
(c) The total number of units needed to break even if sales are budgeted at 150,000
units of plastic frames and 300,000 units of glass frames with all other costs
remaining constant.
BSV = TBI / NIu = P975k / (5x1) + (7x2) = P975k / 19 = P51,316
