Assignment
City Productions performs London shows. The average show sells 900 tickets at $65 per ticket. There are 125 shows a year. No additional shows can be held as the theater is also used by other production companies. The average show has a cast of 55, each earning a net average of #330 per show. The cast is paid after each show. The other variable cost is program-printing cost of $9 per guest. Annual fixed costs total $580,500.
Requirements:
1. Compute revenue and variable costs for each show.
2. Use the equation approach to compute the number of shows City Productions must perform each year to break even.
3. Use the contribution margin ratio approach to compute the number of shows needed each year to earn a profit of $4,128,000. Is this profit goal realistic? Give your reasoning.
4. Prepare City Productions' contribution margin income statement for 125 shows preformed in 2014. Report only two categories of costs: variable and fixed.
Requirement 1. Compute revenue and variable costs for each show.Select the formula and enter the amounts to compute sales revenue for each show.
Select the formula and enter the amounts to compute variable costs for each show. Compute the variable costs per show for each cost separately, and then compute the total variable costs per show.
Requirement 2. Use the equation approach to compute the number of shows City Productions must perform each year to break even.
First, select the formula to compute the required sales in units to break even.
Rearrange the formula you determined above and compute the required number of shows to break even.
The number of shows needed annually to break even is_____.
Requirement 3. Use the contribution margin ratio approach to compute the number of shows needed each year to earn a profit of $ 4,128,000. Is this profit goal realistic? Give your reasoning.
Begin by showing the formula and then entering the amounts to calculate the required sales dollars to earn a profit of $ 4 comma 128 comma 000. (Round the required sales in dollars to the nearest whole dollar. (Round amounts in the formula to two decimal places, XX.XX. Abbreviation used: CM = contribution margin.)
Now use the information given and the required sales in dollars computed in the previous step to determine the required number of shows needed each year to earn a profit of $ 4,128,000. (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)
The number of shows needed annually to earn a profit of $ 4,128,000 is ______.
Is this profit goal realistic? Give your reasoning.
The profit goal of $ 4,128,000 is (unrealistic) or (realistic) since City Productions currently performs 125 shows a year.
Requirement 4. Prepare City Productions' contribution margin income statement for 125 shows performed in 2014 . Report only two categories of costs: variable and fixed.
