1. Calculate Cove’s new break-even point under each of the following independent scenarios: a. Sales price increases by $1.60 per cake. b. Fixed costs increase by $505 per month. c. Variable costs decrease by $0.29 per cake. d. Sales price decreases by $0.70 per cake. 2. Assume that Cove sold 460 cakes last month. Calculate the company’s degree of operating leverage. 3. Using the degree of operating leverage, calculate the change in profit caused by a 7 percent increase in sales revenue.

                                                                            Break-even point

a. Sales price increases by $1.60 per cake.          395 units

b. Fixed costs increase by $505 per month.       512 units

c. Variable costs decrease by $0.29 per cake.    447 units

d. Sales price decreases by $0.70 per cake.        495 units

2. Assume that Cove sold 460 cakes last month. Calculate the company’s degree of operating leverage.

Operating Leverage = 0

3. Using the degree of operating leverage, calculate the change in profit caused by a 7 percent increase in sales revenue.

Profit = $113.34

Explanation:

Total Variable cost = $2.28 + $1.02 + $0.22 = $3.52

Contribution = $13.31 - $3.52 = $9.79

Break-even Point = Fixed cost / contribution per unit = $4,503.40 / $9.79 =

Break-even Point = 460 units

a. Sales price increases by $1.60 per cake.

Selling Price = $13.31 + $1.60 = $14.91

Contribution = $14.91 - $3.52 = $11.39

Break-even Point = Fixed cost / contribution per unit = $4,503.40 / $11.39 =

Break-even Point = 395.38 units = 395 units

b. Fixed costs increase by $505 per month.

Fixed Cost = $4,503.40 + $505 = $5,008.4

Contribution = $13.31 - $3.52 = $9.79

Break-even Point = Fixed cost / contribution per unit = $5,008.40 / $9.79 =

Break-even Point = 511.58 units = 512 units

c. Variable costs decrease by $0.29 per cake.

Variable cost = $3.52 - $0.29 = $3.23

Contribution = $13.31 - $3.23 = $10.08

Break-even Point = Fixed cost / contribution per unit = $4,503.40 / $10.08 =

Break-even Point = 446.77 units = 447 units

d. Sales price decreases by $0.70 per cake.

Selling Price = $13.31 - 0.70 = $12.61

Contribution = $12.61 - $3.52 = $9.09

Break-even Point = Fixed cost / contribution per unit = $4,503.40 / $9.09 =

Break-even Point = 495.42 units = 495 units

2. Assume that Cove sold 460 cakes last month. Calculate the company’s degree of operating leverage.

Total sales = 460 x 13.31 = $6,122.6

Total Variable Cost = 460 x 3.52 = $1,619.2

Total Contribution = $6,122.6 - $1,619.2 = 4503.40

Net income = $4503.40 - $4503.40 = 0

Operating Leverage = 4503.40 / 0 = 0

3. Using the degree of operating leverage, calculate the change in profit caused by a 7 percent increase in sales revenue.

Sales = 460 x 107% = 492.2 units

Profit = 0+ ((492.2 - 460) x 3.52) = $113.34

answer///schedule;

anyone below or above ambitious can tell you. so crowns mean brainliest. getting brainliest means your answer needs a good explanation and the person asking the question can understand your answer easily. so say there's a multiple choice question. you don't just want to say your answer is a, hope it . provide evidence and reasoning so that they know that that is the correct answer. a good explanation should have evidence, good reasoning, and your opinion on why you picked that. you don't want to look up their question on the internet and see if you can answer it. pick questions that you 100% know the answer to, so than that way you can provide a better explanation.

best of luck,
