Explanation / Answer

1) Break even Point :Fixed cost /(Price -variable expense)

            = 1095000 / (16.5 -6.5]

                1095000 / 10

                  109500 cartoons

2)CM ratio = [Price -Variable cost ]/ price

         =[16.5-6.5 ]/16.5

           = .6061

Target sales = [Fixed cost +Target Income ] /CM ratio

         =[1095000+308000]/.6061

        = 2,314,800

3)

4)Margin Of safety =Actual sales -Break even point sales

       = 7425000 -[109500*16.5]

           7425000 -1806750

            5618250

Degree of operating leverage = contribution /net income

                = 4500000/3405000

                = 1.32

CONTRIBUTION MARGIN INCOME STATEMENT Sales [450000*16.5] 7425000 less:variable expense [450000*6.5] (2925000) contribution margin 4500000 Less:Fixed cost (1095000) Net operating income 3405000
