Explanation / Answer

(1)-Break Even Points in units and Sales Dollars

Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit – Variable cost per unit

= $2.00 - $0.80

= $1.20 per unit

Contribution Margin Ratio = [Contribution per unit / Selling price per unit] x 100

= [$1.20 / $2.00] x 100

= 60%

Break Even Points in units = Fixed Costs / Contribution per unit

= $12,000 / $1.20

= 10,000 Units

Break Even Points in sales dollars = Fixed Costs / Contribution margin ratio

= $12,000 / 0.60

= $20,000

Therefore, The Answer is (a).10,000 Units and $20,000

(2)-Contribution Margin Ratio

Contribution Margin Ratio = [Contribution per unit / Selling price per unit] x 100

= [$1.20 / $2.00] x 100

= 60%

(3)- Number of units of output to be sold to earn $33,000 Profit

= [Fixed Costs + Desired Profit] / Contribution per unit

= [$12,000 + 33,000] / $1.20

= $45,000 / $1.20

= 37,500 Units

(4)-New Break Even Point in sales Dollars

New Break Even Points in sales dollars = New Fixed Costs / New Contribution margin ratio

New Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit – Variable cost per unit

= $2.00 – [$0.80 x 115%]

= $2.00 - $0.92

= $1.08

New Contribution Margin Ratio = [Contribution per unit / Selling price per unit] x 100

= [$1.08 / 2.00] x 100

= 54%

Therefore, The New Break Even Points in sales dollars = New Fixed Costs / New Contribution margin ratio

= $15,120 / 0.54

= $28,000

The Answer is “d. $28,000”

(5)-Relatives to companies with low operating leverage, a company with high operating leverage “Experiences a smaller Break Even volume”

(6)-The Answer is “B. Margin of Safety”

The formula for calculating the Margin of safety are as follows

Margin of Safety = Actual Total Sales – Break Even Sales
