Explanation / Answer

1. Total variable cost per bottle: $50

Contribution margin ratio = (Sales - Variable cost)/Sales = ($85 - $50)/$85 = $35/$85 = 41.18%

2. Annual breakeven sales in units = Fixed costs/Contribution per unit = $2517600/$35 = 71931 units

Annual fixed costs = 12 x ($151700 + $33400 + $24700) = 12 x $209800 = $2517600

Annual breakeven sales in dollars = 71931 x $85 = $6114135

3. Margin of safety = Budgeted sales - Breakeven sales = $8200000 - $6114135 = $2085865

Budgeted sales = $2085862/$8200000 = 25.44 = 25%
