In: Accounting
1) sales = $51,000
Less: Variable expenses = $18,000
Equals: Contribution margin = $33,000
Less: Fixed expenses = $18,000
Equal: Net Income = $15,000
If Activity volume increases by 20%, Total sales and variable expenses increases by 20%.
New sales ($51,000 * 120%) = $61,200
Less: New variable expenses ($18,000 * 120%) = $21,600
Equals: Contribution margin = $39,600
Less: Fixed expenses = $18,000
Net Income = $21,600
2) Selling price = $48
Variable expenses (revised) [$36 * 75%] = $27
So, contribution margin per unit = $48 - $27 = $21
Fixed expenses ($106,000 * 115%) = $121,900
Desired sales in units = [Fixed cost + desired profit] / contribution margin per unit
Desired sales in units = [$121,900 + $23,000] / $21
Desired sales in units = 6,900 units.
