Explanation / Answer

a.

Current Contribution margin = Sales – Variable costs = $814,000 - $477,800 = $336,200

Current contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin /Sales = $336,200/$814,000 = 0.4130 = 41%

Breakeven point in terms of revenue = Fixed costs/Contribution margin ratio = $307,900/41% = $750,976

b.

Current sales volume = 1,640 units

Revised sales volume = 1,640 units * 1.16 = 1,902 units

Revised sales = $814,000*1.16 = $944,240

Savings in labor costs = $27 * 1,902 units = $51,354

Revised variable costs = ($477,800*1.16) - $51,354 = $502,894

Revised contribution margin = $944,240 - $502,894 = $441,346

Revised contribution margin ratio = $441,346/$944,240 = 0.47 = 47%

Revised fixed costs = $307,900 + $30,100 = $338,000

Breakeven point = $338,000/0.47 = $719,149

c.

Operating income = Contribution margin – Fixed costs = $441,346 - $338,000 = $103,346
