Praveen Co. manufactures and markets a number of rope products. Management is considering the future of Product XT, a special rope for hang gliding, that has not been as profitable as planned. Since Product XT is manufactured and marketed independently of the other products, its total costs can be precisely measured. Next year’s plans call for a $210 selling price per 100 yards of XT rope. Its fixed costs for the year are expected to be $193,200, up to a maximum capacity of 550,000 yards of rope. Forecasted variable costs are $168 per 100 yards of XT rope.
1. Estimate Product XT's break-even point in terms of sales units and sale dollars.
2. Prepare a CVP chart for Product XT. Use 7,000 units (700,000 yards/100 maximum number of sales units on the horizontal axis of the graph, and $1,400,000 as the maximum dollar amount on the vertical axis.3. Prepare a contribution margin income statement showing sales, variable costs, and fixed costs for Product XT at the break-even point.

Answer:

1. Estimate Product XT's break-even point in terms of sales units and sale dollars.

break even point = $193,200 / ($210 - $168) = 4,600 package (each containing 100 yards)

break even point in $ = 4,600 x $210 = $966,000

2) attached graph            

3) Income Statement

Revenue                          $966,000

Variable costs                ($772,800)

Contribution margin        $193,200

Fixed expenses             ($193,200)

Operating income                  $0

Why is it difficult for products to "cross the chasm"? Because the product does not appeal to visionaries. Because the product has a brand name that does not translate well to other countries. Because the product's positioning strategy is not consistent with prior product releases. Because the product's value proposition may attract visionaries but may never get acceptance in the mass market.

Recall the text’s definition of diminishing marginal utility: "the common pattern that each marginal unit of a good consumed provides less of an addition to utility than the previous unit." The reason for this behavior is because of biology. Our body sends our brains a signal once too much of a good or service has been consumed. This prevents a person from literally eating until they explode. In your own experience, share two times instances where the law of diminishing marginal utility applied to you. Can you think of any time when the law of diminishing marginal utility failed for someone? Please answer in 150 words or more. Use your own words - please do not copy and paste from a web site. Be sure to reference your sources.
