Contribution Margin, Break-Even Sales, Cost-Volume-Profit Chart, Margin of Safety, and Operating Leverage

Belmain Co. expects to maintain the same inventories at the end of 20Y7 as at the beginning of the year. The total of all production costs for the year is therefore assumed to be equal to the cost of goods sold. With this in mind, the various department heads were asked to submit estimates of the costs for their departments during the year. A summary report of these estimates is as follows:

It is expected that 7,020 units will be sold at a price of $288 a unit. Maximum sales within the relevant range are 9,000 units.

Required:

1. Prepare an estimated income statement for 20Y7.

2. What is the expected contribution margin ratio? Round to the nearest whole percent.
%

3. Determine the break-even sales in units and dollars.

4. Construct a cost-volume-profit chart on your own paper. What is the break-even sales?
$

5. What is the expected margin of safety in dollars and as a percentage of sales?

6. Determine the operating leverage. Round to one decimal place.

Explanation / Answer

What is the expected contribution margin ratio?

contribution margin ratio =Contribution/Sales=1516320/201760 =75%

Determine the break-even sales in units and dollars

in units =Fixed Cost/Contrbution Per unit

=673920/216=3120 units

in dollars=3120*288=$898560

What is the expected margin of safety in dollars and as a percentage of sales

Margin of Saftey =Actual Sales - Break Even Sales =2021760*898560=1123200

margin of safety as a percentage of sales =Margin of Saftey/Sales=1123200/2021760=56%

6. Determine the operating leverage. Round to one decimal place.

Contrbution Margin/Net operating Income

=1516320/842400=1.8
