Explanation / Answer

Answer 1:- CM ratio of the whole company = CM / Sales = 390000 / 975000 = 0.4

Companywide BEP in dollar sales = Fixed expenses / CM ratio = ( 162000 + 50000 ) / 0.40 = $ 530000

Answer 2 :- North region BEP in dollar sales = Fixed expenses / CM ratio = 81000 / 0.30 = $ 270000

195000 / 650000 = 0.30

Answer 3 :- South region BEP in dollar sales = Fixed expenses / CM ratio = 81000 / 0.60 = $ 135000

195000 / 325000 = 0.60
