Explanation / Answer

Answer 1. Company Q R S T Target Sales                          720,000.00                         400,000.00                         224,000.00                            780,000.00 ($156,000 + $624,000) Variable Expense                          216,000.00                         140,000.00                         112,000.00                            156,000.00 ($400,000 X 0.35) ($224,000 - $112,000) Contribution Margin                          504,000.00                         260,000.00                         112,000.00                            624,000.00 ($720,000 - $216,000) ($400,000 X 0.65) (12,500 X $8.96) (16,000 X $39) Fixed Expense                          350,000.00                         156,000.00                            93,000.00                            493,000.00 ($504,000 - $154,000) ($624,000 - $131,000) Operating Income (Loss)                          154,000.00                         104,000.00                            19,000.00                            131,000.00 ($260,000 - $104,000) ($112,000 - $19,000) Unit Sold                            84,000.00                         125,000.00                            12,500.00                              16,000.00 ($504,000 / $6) Contribution Margin Per Unit                                       6.00                                      2.08                                      8.96                                      39.00 ($260,000 / 125,000) Contribution Margin Ratio                                       0.70                                      0.65                                      0.50                                         0.80 ($504,000 / $720,000) ($112,000 / $224,000) ($624,000 / $780,000) Answer 2. ( Fixed Expenses + Target Profit ) / Contribution Margin Ratio = BEP (In $) Q (           350,000.00 + 0 ) /                                              0.70 =       500,000.00 R (           156,000.00 + 0 ) /                                              0.65 =       240,000.00 S (             93,000.00 + 0 ) /                                              0.50 =       186,000.00 T (           493,000.00 + 0 ) /                                              0.80 =       616,250.00 Company S is the Lowest Break Even Point, primarily due to Lower Fixed Cost.
