controller, Sylvia Harlow, has just received the sales forecast for the coming year for Kalifo’s three products:
weeders, hedge clippers, and leaf blowers. Kalifo has experienced considerable variations in sales volumes and
variable costs over the past two years, and Harlow believes that forecast should be carefully evaluated from a
cost-volume-profit viewpoint. The preliminary budget information for 20X8 is presented below.
