Explanation / Answer

1.

Contribution margin percentage = Contribution margin per unit / Selling price per unit

= 6 / 20

= 30%

Breakeven point in unit sales = Fixed costs / Contribution margin per unit

= 72,600 / 6

= 12,100

Breakeven point in dollar sales = Fixed costs / Contribution margin percentage

= 72,600 / 30%

= 242,000

-------------------------------------------

2.

Total contribution margin at breakeven point = 12,100 units * 6 per unit

= 72,600

-------------------------------------------

3-a

Units sales needed to attain target profit = (Fixed costs + Target profit) / Contribution margin per unit

= (72,600 + 30,600) / 6

= 17,200

-------------------------------------------

3-b

Menlo Company

Contribution Income statement

-------------------------------------------

4.

Margin of safety in dollars = Planned sales - Breakeven sales

= 320,000 - 242,000

= 78,000

Margin of safety percentage = Margin of safety / planned sales

= 78,000 / 320,000

= 24.375%

-------------------------------------------

5.

Contributiuon margin ratio = Contributuion margin per unit / Selling price per unit

= 6 / 20

= 30%

Total sales after increase = 320,000 + 55,000 = 375,000

Contribution margin = 375,000 * 30% = 112,500

Net operating income = Contribution margin - Fixed expenses

= 112,500 - 72,600

= 39,900

Net operating income increase by 16,500 (39,900 - 23,400)

Total Per unit Sales 344,000 (17,200*20) 20 Variable expenses 240,800 (17,200*14) 14 Contribution margin 103,200 (344,000 - 240,800) 6 Fixed expenses 72,600 Net operating income 30,600
