In: Accounting
Sara sells two types of cakes from home. The total fixed cost
for every month is budgeted at 200 BD. The labor cost per unit is
equal to 2 BD. Sara sells 150 cake every month. The selling prices
is 15 BD. The ingredient cost is 4 BD per cake.
Sara wants to know what price she must charge to generate enough
revenue to cover her costs. With Break-Even Analysis, Sara can
compare different pricing options and calculate how many units sold
will lead to profitability. She needs to calculate the contribution
margin which equal to selling price minus the variable costs.
Contribution margin shows the revenue earned per unit, after
deducting variable costs and needs to be enough to cover the
company's fixed costs. Sara needs to calculate the following:
1) Break-Even Price, to determine the price needs to be set to generate enough revenue to cover her costs. Break-Even Price equal to 1 / ((1 - Total Variable Costs Percent per Unit) * (Total Fixed Costs per Unit)). Where Variable Costs Percent per Unit = Total Variable Costs / (Total Variable + Total Fixed Costs). Then determine how changes in unit sold and cost per unit affect Break-Even Price, unit sold between 100 and 200 in 10 increments and Cost per unit between 3.5 and 6.5 in 0.5 increments.
2) Break-Even Units Sold, to determine the number of units that
need to be sold to achieve the break-even point. To calculate the
Break-Even Units Sold, we divide the total fixed costs by the
contribution margin for each unit sold. Then determine how changes
in unit sold and cost per unit affect Break-Even Unit, price
between 7 and 17 in 1 increments and Cost per unit between 3.5 and
6.5 in 0.5 increments
I need it to be solved using modeling , sensitivity analysis and financial excel functions with excel or written.
CALCULATION OF CONTRIBUTION MARGIN
CONTRIBUTION=SALES-VARIABLE COST
SALES=SELLING PRICE*NO OF CAKES PRODUCED PER MONTH
15BD*200=3000 BD
VARIABLE COST=INGREDIANT COST+LABOUR COST
4 BD+2 BD =6 BD
6 BD*200=1200
CONTRIBUTION = 3000-1200 = 1800
CONTRIBUTION PER UNIT=1800/200=9 BD
CONTRIBUTION-FIXED COST=PROFIT
PROFIT = 1800-200=1600
1)CALCULATION OF BREAK EVEN PRICE
BEP IN UNITS =FIXED COST/CONTRIBUTION PER UNIT
FIXED COST=200 BD
200/9=22.22 units
Break even point is the point.at which the total cost equal total revenue.there is no profit no loss.If sales exceeds the BEP,the business makes a profit.
