Question

Texas-Q Company produces and sells barbeque grills. Texas-Q sells three models: a small portable gas grill, a larger stationary gas grill, and the specialty smoker. In the coming year, Texas-Q expects to sell 15,900 portable grills, 47,700 stationary grills, and 5,300 smokers. Information on the three models is as follows:

	Portable	Stationary	Smokers
Price	$86	$201	$254
Variable cost
per unit	44	135	136

Total fixed cost is $1,835,220.

	Required:
1.	What is the sales mix of portable grills to stationary grills to smokers?
2.	Compute the break-even quantity of each product.
3.	Prepare an income statement for Texas-Q for the coming year. What is the overall contribution margin ratio? Use the contribution margin ratio to compute overall break-even sales revenue. Enter the contribution margin ratio as a percentage rounded to two decimal places; round the break-even sales revenue to the nearest dollar.
4.	Compute the margin of safety for the coming year.

Answer 1

Contribution margin ratio = contribution margin ÷ sales

Breakeven sales = fixed cost ÷ contribution margin ratio

Margin of safety = Total sales - breakeven sales.
