Explanation / Answer
Selling price -$37 per unit
Contribution margin-39%
Variable cost ratio=1- CM
=61%
2)Selling price $37 per unit
-variable cost 22.57 per unit(61% of 37)
contribution -$14.43 per unit
2 a) break even point in unit sales= fixed cost/ contribution per unit
=$432,900 per year/$14.43 per unit
=30,000 units
break-even point in dollar sales= break even units * selling price price per unit
=30,000*37
=$1110000
2 b) desired profit-$72,150
fixed cost-$432,900
contribution per unit-$14.43 per unit
sales level in units-fixed cost +desired profit/contribution per unit
432900+72150/14.43
=35000 units
sales level in dollars= 35000*37
=$1295000
2 c and 3 a are same) selling price-$37 per unit
variable cost -$17.77 (22.57-4.80)
contribution-$19.23 per unit
new break even point in unit sales- fixed cost/revised contribution per unit
432,900/19.23
=22512 units
new break even point in dollar sales-22512 units*37
=$832944
3 b) desired profit-$72,150
fixed cost-$432,900
revised contribution -$19.23 per unit
sales level in units-fixed cost +desired profit/ revised contribution per unit
432900+72150/19.23
=26264 units
sales level in dollars= 26264*37
=$971768
3 c is same as 2 c
