Explanation / Answer

Answer:-1)-Break even point (in units):-Fixed cost/ Contribution margin per unit

=$3750.60/$9.87 per unit = 380 units

Break even point (in dollars):-Fixed cost/ Contribution margin ratio

=$3750.60/73.06% = $5134

Where:-

Contribution margin per unit =Selling price per unit – Variable cost per unit

=$13.51- ($2.34+$1.02+$.28)

=$13.51 - $3.64 = $9.87 per unit

Contribution margin ratio =($9.87/$13.51)*100 = 73.06%

2)-Margin of safety = Actual sales – Break even point

=(450 units*$13.51 per unit) – (380 units*$13.51 per unit)

=$6079.50 - $5133.80

=$945.70

3)-Target sales units =($3750.60+$2200)/$9.87 per unit

=$5950.60/$9.87 per unit =603 cakes (units)
