Question

tor Print Item t Chart, Margin of Safety, and Operating Leverage be man ca e ects to maintain the same inventories at the end of 20y, as at the beginning o the year. The total o 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 Estimated Variable Cost (per unit sold) Fixed Cost Direct materials Direct labor Factory overhead $28 $700,900 14 Selling expenses: 145,700 Advertising 11,000 selling expense 12,000 142,400 17,500 16,320 $1,095,120 $78 It is expected that 8,580 units wll be sold at a price of $312 a unit. Maximum sales within the relevant range are 11,000 units. Required Previous Next

Explanation / Answer

1) Income Statement

2) Contribution margin ratio = (selling price per unit - variable expenses per unit) / selling price per unit

Contribution margin ratio = 234 / 312

= 75%

3) Break even sales in units = fixed costs / contribution margin per unit

Break even units = 1095120 / 234

= 4680 units

Break even sales in dollars = 4680 * 312

= $14,60,160

5) Margin of safety = actual sales - break even sales

= 2676960 - 1460160

= $12,16,800

Margin of safety in % = 1216800 / 2676960

= 45.45%

6) Operating leverage = Total contribution margin / (Total contribution margin - fixed costs)

= 2007720 / (2007720 - 1095120)

= 2.2
