Explanation / Answer

Answer 1.

CM Ratio = Contribution / Sales

CM Ratio = $105,600 / $264,000

CM Ratio = 40%

BEP (In Units) = Fixed Costs / Contribution per Unit

BEP (In Units) = $117,600 / $8

BEP (In Units) = 14,700 Units

BEP (In $ Sales) = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin Ratio

BEP (In $ Sales) = $117,600 / 40%

BEP (In $ Sales) = $294,0000

Answer 2.

Incremental Revenue

Increase in Contribution margin - $84,000 X 40% 33,600.00

Incremental Cost

Increase in Monthly Advertising Expense 6,200.00

Net Incremental Profit (Loss) 27,400.00

Answer 3.

Contribution Format Income Statement

Sales - 26,400 Units X $20 528,000.00

Variable Expense - 26,400 Units X $12 316,800.00

Contribution 211,200.00

Fixed Expenses - $117,600 + $36,000 153,600.00

Net Income 57,600.00

Answer 4.

BEP (in Units + Target Profit) = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / Contribution Margin Per Unit

Contribution margin Per Unit = $20 - ($12 + $0.40)

Contribution margin Per Unit = $7.60

BEP (in Units + Target Profit) = ($117,600 + $4,200) / $7.60

BEP (in Units + Target Profit) = 16,026.32 or say 16,026 Units (Approx.)
