Expert Solution

Problem - 1

Option - A

variable cost per unit = 90

Contribution per unit = sale price – variable cost

                                      = 150-90

                                       = 60 $ Per unit

breakeven in units

=    fixed cost / contribution per unit

= 18000 / 60

= 300 units

Problem-2

Option - C

under high-low cost method

variable cost per unit =

( highest activity cost - lowest activity cost ) / ( highest activity units – lowest activity units )

= (5600-3200) / (1200-600)

= 2400 / 600

= $ 4 per unit

Problem- 3

Option - C

new vwariable cost per unit = 30+10

= 40 per unit

selling price per unit= 60

variable cost per unit = 40

Fixed cost = 20000 $

Contribution per unit = sale price – variable cost

                                      = 60 -40

                                       = 20 $ Per unit

breakeven in units

in units =    fixed cost / contribution per unit

= 20000 / 20

= 1000 units

Problem- 4

Option - C

sales price = 100 $ per unit

break even units = 300

Break even sales in dollars = 300 * 100 = $ 30000

Actual sales units = 250 units

Actual sales in doolars = 250 *100 = $ 25000

margin of saftey sales in doolars

= Actual sales - breakeven sales

= (250*100) - (300*100)

= 25000 - 30000

= (5000)
