Solutions

Expert Solution

1) vale return of Investment = 15%

= Investment made during the year * 15%

= 912000 * 15%

= $136800

Total Sales= opening Investment + Investment During the year - Closing Investment
684000 = 570000 + Investment during the year -798000
Investment During the year =684000 + 798000 - 570000 = 912000

2)

Statement of contribution
Sale ( 342000 Units * $2 per unit) 684000
Less: Variable cost
Direct Material -228000
Direct labour -171000
Factory Overhead -79800
General selling and admin -34200
Contribution margin 171000
Less : Fixed Cost 102600
operating Profit 68400

Residual Income = Operating Profit - return on investment

= 68400 - 136800

= $ 68400 (Loss)

3)

Statement of contribution
Sale ( 342000 Units * $2 per unit) 684000
Less: Variable cost
Direct Material -228000
Direct labour -171000
Factory Overhead -79800
General selling and admin -34200
Contribution margin 171000

Breakeven point in units = Total Fixed cost / contribution margin per unit

= 102600 / 0.5

= 205200 units
