4. Laramie Company has variable cost ratio of 0.40. The fixed cost is $66,000 and 22,000 units are sold at break-even. What is the price? What is the variable cost per unit? The contribution margin per unit? Note : Do NOT round interim computations. Round answers to the nearest cent.
Answer :-
Price per unit = 5
Variable cost per unit = 2
Contribution margin per unit = 3
Contribution Per unit = (Fixed cost / Brekeven sales (units) |
= (66,000/ 22,000) |
= 3 per unit |
Since we know Variable cost to sales ratio is 0.40, hence contribution to sales ratio will be 0.60 (100-0.40) | |||||
Hence, Sales Price per unit = (contribution per unit / .60) | |||||
= (3/0.60) | |||||
= 5 per unit |
Variable cost = Sales Price * 0.40 |
= 5 *0.40 |
= 2 per unit |
Following is the table to undestand ration if sales price is 1
Sales Price | 1 | 100% | |
less | Variable Cost | 0.4 | 40% |
Contribution | 0.6 | 60% |
