Required:
1. Complete the table. (Round your cost per unit
answers to 2 decimal places.)

Total costs | |||||||
Variable costs | $71,550 | 91800 | 135 X 680 units | 112050 | 135 X 830 units | ||
Fixed costs | $148,500 | $148,500 | Remains fixed | $148,500 | |||
Total costs | $220,050 | 240300 | 91800+148500 | 260550 | 112050+148500 | ||

In the given case the variable cost per unit is $135 and the variable cost per unit is fixed at all levels | |||||||
fixed cost is fixed in value at all level of production | |||||||
total cost per unit is decreasing due to fixed cost per unit is changing due to increasing the units | |||||||
3 | Calculation of contribution margin | ||||||
Contribution= Sales less variable cost | |||||||
Sales $ per unit | 511 | ||||||
Variable cost per unit | 135 | ||||||
Contribution= Sales less variable cost | 376 | 511-376 | |||||
Contribution margin ration =contribution/ sales | 73.58% | 376/511 | |||||
the contribution margin is 73.58% | |||||||
the contribution per unit is $376 | |||||||
4 | 880 canoes | ||||||
Sales | 449680 | $511 X 880 Canoes | |||||
Variable costs | 118800 | $135 X 880 Canoes | |||||
Contribution= Sales less variable cost | 330880 | 449680-118800 | |||||
Fixed costs | $148,500 | Remains fixed | |||||
Profit | 182380 | 330880-148500 | |||||
the contribution is $330880 and the profit is 182380 | |||||||
