Required:
1. Suppose Dana’s would like to generate a profit of
$1,060. Determine how many rosettes it must sell to achieve this
target profit. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2
decimal places and final answer to the
nearest whole number.)
2. If Dana’s sells 1,700 rosettes, compute its
margin of safety in units, in sales dollars, and as a percentage of
sales. (Round your Margin of Safety percentage to two
decimal places (i.e. .1234 should be entered as
12.34%).

4. Using the degree of operating leverage,
calculate the change in Dana’s profit if unit sales drop to 1,275
units. Confirm this by preparing a new contribution margin income
statement. (Round your intermediate calculations to 4
decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places. (i.e. .1234
should be entered as 12.34%.))
