HASF Corporation has fixed costs of 1,000,000 variable costs of 50 per units and a contribution margin ratio of 40% and no of units sold 20,000
Required:
Calculation of Unit sales price
Unit Sales price = Variable cost per unit/ Variable cost ratio
= Variable cost per unit/ (1 – Contribution margin ratio)
= $ 50 per unit/ (1 -40%)
= $ 50 per unit/ 60%
= $ 83.33 (approximately).
Calculation of Unit Contribution margin
Unit Contribution margin = Selling price per unit – variable cost per unit
= $ 83.33 per unit - $ 50 per unit
= $ 33.33 per unit (Approximately)
Calculation of sales volume in units required to earn operating income of $ 100,000
Sales Volume in units to earn target operating income = (Total fixed costs + Target Operating Income)/ Contribution margin per unit
= ($ 1,000,000 + $ 100,000)/ $ 33.33 per unit
= 33,000 units
Therefore sales volume to earn operating income of $ 100,000 is 33,000 units.
Calculation of Dollar sales volume required to earn operating income of $ 300,000
Sales Volume in dollars to earn target operating income = (Total fixed costs + Target Operating Income)/ Contribution margin ratio
= ($ 1,000,000 + $ 300,000)/ 40%
= $ 3,250,000
Therefore sales volume to earn operating income of $ 300,000 is $ 3,250,000.

Working Notes:
Case -1
Calculation of Fixed Costs:
Fixed Costs = Contribution margin – Operating Income
= (Number of units sold X Contribution margin per unit) – Operating Income
= (4,000 units X $ 20 per unit) - $ 25,000
= $ 80,000 - $ 25,000
= $ 55,000
Calculation of Sales:
Sales = Variable costs + Contribution margin
= Variable Costs + (Number of units sold X Contribution margin per unit)
= $ 120,000 + (4,000 units X $ 20 per unit)
= $ 120,000 + $ 80,000
= $ 200,000
Case -2
Calculation of Contribution margin per unit:
Contribution margin per unit = Total contribution margin/ number of units sold
= (Total fixed costs + Operating income)/ number of units sold
= ($ 45,000 + $ 30,000)/ 5,000 units
= $ 15 per unit
Calculation of variable costs:
Variable costs = Sales – Contribution margin
= Sales – (Fixed Costs + Operating Income)
= $ 180,000 – ($ 45,000 + $ 30,000)
= $ 105,000
Case -3
Calculation of variable costs:
Variable costs = Sales – Contribution margin
= Sales – (Fixed Costs + Operating Income)
= $ 600,000 – ($ 150,000 + $ 90,000)
= $ 360,000
Calculation of number of units sold:
Number of units sold = Total Contribution margin/ Contribution margin per unit
= (Fixed Costs + Operating Income)/ Contribution margin per unit
= ($ 150,000 +$ 90,000)/ $ 30 per unit
= 8,000 units.
