Amount Per unit
Sales 2000 x450 =900000 450
Less: VAriable cost 630000 315
Contribution 270000 135
Less: Fixed cost 202500 101.25
Net income 67500 23.75

4.1 ) Vreakeven quantity = Fixed cost / Contribution per unit

202500/135= 1500 units

4.2) Break even value(throuh marginal income ratio)

Marginal income ratio(contribution ratio) = Contribution / sales x100

270000/900000 x100 or 135/450x100

= 30%

Breakeven = Fixed cost / contribution ratio

=202500/30% =675000

to check the answer we know break even units are1500 units and selling price is 450

Breakeven value = breakeven units x selling price

1500 x 450 = 675000

4.3) No of units = Desired profit + Fixed cost / Contribution per unit

150000+202500/ 135= 2611.11 or 2611 units

4.4)

Amount Per unit
Sales 900000 450
Less variable cost 330 x2000 =660000 (315+15) 330
Contribution 240000 120
Less: fixed cost 202500(1+.01)=222750 111.375
Net income 17250 8.625

Break even qty = Fixed cost / contribution per unit

222750 /120 = 1856.25 units
