This document contains 7 exercises related to cost-volume-profit analysis. The first exercise provides income statement data for Gilley, Inc. and requires calculating contribution margin per unit, total variable costs if sales double, total fixed costs if sales double, profit increase if units increase by 10, break-even point in units, and units required to achieve $20,000 in profits. The second exercise provides options for booth fees at an art convention and requires calculating break-even sales for each option and determining the best option assuming expected sales of 800 units. The third exercise provides cost data for men's and boys' shirts and requires calculating break-even points by product and operating income assuming a sales mix and total units sold.
