Blanchard Company manufactures a single product that sells for $240 per unit and whose total variable costs are $180 per unit. The company’s annual fixed costs are $954,000. Management targets an annual pretax income of $1,500,000. Assume that fixed costs remain at $954,000.

(1) Contribution Margin Per Unit = Selling Price Per Unit -Variable Cost Per Unit
= $ 240 - $ 180
= $ 60
Required Contribution = Fixed Cost + Required Profit
= $ 954,000 + $ 1,500,000
= $ 2,454,000
Hence, Units sales required to earn the target income=
Choose Numerator | / | Choose Denominator | = | Units to Achieve Target |
Required Contribution | / | Required Contribution Margin Per Unit | = | Units to achieve target |
$ 2,454,000 | / | $ 60 | = | 40,900 Units |
(2)
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin Per Unit / Selling Price Per Unit *100
= $ 60 / $ 240 *100
Required Contribution = Fixed Cost + Required Profit
= $ 954,000 + $ 1,500,000
= $ 2,454,000
Hence, Dollar sales required to earn the target income=
Choose Numerator | / | Choose Denominator | = | Units to Achieve Target |
Required Contribution | / | Required Contribution Margin Per Unit | = | Dollarss to achieve target |
$ 2,454,000 | / | 25% | = | $ 9,816,000 |
