Hawk Homes, Inc., makes one type of birdhouse that it sells for
$29.60 each. Its variable cost is $13.90 per house, and its fixed
costs total $13,611.90 per year. Hawk currently has the capacity to
produce up to 2,500 birdhouses per year, so its relevant range is 0
to 2,500 houses.
Required:
1. Prepare a contribution margin income statement for Hawk
assuming it sells 1,240 birdhouses this year. (Enter your
answers rounded to 2 decimal places.)
2. Without any calculations, determine Hawk’s
total contribution margin if the company breaks even.
(Enter your answers rounded to 2 decimal
places.)
3. Calculate Hawk’s contribution margin per unit
and its contribution margin ratio. (Round your answers to 2
decimal places. (i.e. .1234 should be entered as
12.34%.))
4. Calculate Hawk’s break-even point in number of
units and in sales revenue. (Round your "Sales Revenue"
answer to 2 decimal places and "Unit" answer to the nearest whole
number.)
5. Suppose Hawk wants to earn $22,000 this year.
Determine how many birdhouses it must sell to generate this amount
of profit. (Round up to the next whole
number.)
1.
Hawk Homes, Inc.,
Contribution margin income statement
Sales revenues (1,240*$29.60) | $36,704 |
Less : Variable costs (1,240*$13.90) | $17,236 |
Contribution margin | $19,468 |
Less : Fixed costs | $13,611.90 |
Net operating income | $5,856.1 |
2.
At the breakeven, Contribution margin equals fixed costs.
Contribution margin = $13,611.90
3.
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable costs per unit
= $29.60 - $13.90
= $15.7
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin per unit / Selling price per unit
= $15.7 / $29.6
= 53.04%
4.
Breakeven point in number of units = Fixed costs / Contribution margin per unit
= $13,611.90 / $15.7
= 867
Breakeven point in sales revenue = Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio
= $13,611.90 / 53.04%
= $25,663.46
5.
Unita to be sold = (Fixed costs + Desired profit) / Contribution margin per unit
= ($13,611.90 + $22,000) / $15.7
= 2,268 units
