Hawk Homes, Inc., makes one type of birdhouse that it sells for
$29.00 each. Its variable cost is $13.30 per house, and its fixed
costs total $13,643.30 per year. Hawk currently has the capacity to
produce up to 2,300 birdhouses per year, so its relevant range is 0
to 2,300 houses.
Required:
1. Prepare a contribution margin income statement for Hawk
assuming it sells 1,130 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 $28,000 this year.
Determine how many birdhouses it must sell to generate this amount
of profit. (Round up to the next whole
number.)
1. Contribution margin income Statement
| Sales (In units) | 1,130 | 
| Selling price per Unit | $29 | 
| a. Sales [1,130 x $29] | $32,770 | 
| b. Variable Cost @13,30 per unit | 
 $15,029 [1,130 x $13.30]  | 
| c. Contribution margin [a - b] | $17,741 | 
| d. Fixed Cost | 
 $13,643.30  | 
| Net Income (c - d) | $4,097.70 | 
2. If the company breaks even, then the total contribution margin will equal to total fixed cost.
Therefore, Total contribution margin = $13,643.30
3. Calculation of Contribution per Unit and Contribution margin ratio:
| a. Sale per unit | $29 | 
| b. Variable Cost per Unit | $13.30 | 
| c. Contibution margin per unit (a - b) | $15.70 | 
| Contribution margin ratio (c/a) x 100 | 
 54.14% [$15.70 ÷ $29] x 100  | 
4. Calculation of Break
Even Point
Break Even point (In units) = [Fixed cost ÷ Contribution per unit]
= $13,643.30 ÷ $15.70
= 869 Birdhouses
Break even point (In dollars) = [Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin ratio]
= $13,643.30 ÷ 54.14%
= $25,200.04
5. Calculation of No, of units to be sold to get a profit of $28,000:
Target sales (In units) = [Fixed cost + Desired profit] ÷ Contribution per unit
= [$13,643.30 + $28,000] ÷ $15.70
= 2,652.44 Birdhouses
(But this is beyond the production capacity of 2,300 houses)
