Solutions

Expert Solution

Solution:

a. Break-even sales in UNITS = Fixed expense / Contribution margin per unit

= $249,480 / ($112 - $58)

= $249,480 / $54

= 4,620 units

Break-even sales in Dollars = Fixed expense/ Contribution margin ratio

   = $249,480 / [($112-$58)/$112]

   = $517,440

b. Target sales in UNITS = (Target income + Fixed expense) / Contribution margin per unit   

   = ($35,640 + 249,480) / $54

   = 5,280 units

Target sales in Dollars = Target sales in units * Selling price per unit

   = 5,280 * $112 = $591,360

C. Contribution margin income statement :

Cont. margin inc. statement (at 5,280 units of sales)
Sales (5,280 * $112) $591,360
Variable cost (5,280*$58) (306,240)
Contribution margin $285,120
Fixed expense (249,480)
Net Income $ 35,640

d. Margin of safety in Units = Sales level in units - Break-even sales in units

= 6,000 - 4,620 = 1,380 units

Margin of safety in Dollars = 1,380 * $112 = $154,560

Degree of operating leverage = Contribution margin / Net income

= 6,000*$54 / (6,000*$54 - $ 249,480)

   = $324,000 /$74,520

= 4.35 (rounded off)
