AD Company estimates that variable costs will be 70%
of sales and fixed costs will total $1,800,000. The selling price
of the product is $10, and 700,000 units will be sold.
Instructions: Using the mathematical equation
(a) Compute the break-even point in units and
dollars.
(b) Compute the margin of safety in dollars and as a
ratio.
(c) Compute net
income.
a) break even point in units=fixed costs/contribution perunit=$1800000/$3=600000 units
contribution perunit=sales-variable cost per unit=$10-70%x$10=$3
break even point in dollar sales=fixed costs/pv ratio=$1800000/30%=$6000000
pv ratio=contribution/sales=$3/$10=30%
b) margin of safety sales=actual sales-break even sales=700000 units x $10-$6000000=$1000000
margin of safety ratio=margin of safety sales/actual sales=$1000000/$7000000=14.28%
