Solutions

Expert Solution

1.break even point in units and dollars.

break even point in units = fixed cost / contribution per unit

here,

fixed cost $4,240.80

contribution per unit =price - variable costs

=>14.51-2.16-1.07-0.12

=>$11.16.

break even point in units = $4240.80/11.16

=>380 units.

break even point in dollars = fixed cost / PV ratio

here, PV ratio = contribution per unit / sale price per unit

=>$11.16/14.51

=>76.91%......(to two decimal places)

=>break even sales in dollars= $4,240.80/76.91%

=>$5,513.98

2.margin of safety = total sales - break even sales

margin of safety in units = 440 cakes -380 cakes =>60 cakes.

margin of safety in dollars = 60 cakes *$14.51=>$871......(rounded to nearest dollar).

3.to generate a profit of $2500

number of cakes to be sold = (fixed cost + required profit) / contribution per cake

=>(4240.80+2500)/11.16

=>604 cakes.........(to nearest whole number)
