Answer 1
Fixed | Variable | Total | |
Cost of Goods Sold | 6,52,500 | 7,97,500 | 14,50,000 |
Selling Expense | 13,250 | 39,750 | 53,000 |
Administrative Expense | 23,500 | 23,500 | 47,000 |
Total | 6,89,250 | 8,60,750 | 15,50,000 |
Answer 2
Selling Price | 175.00 | |
Variable Cost: | ||
- Cost of Goods Sold | 79.75 | |
- Selling Expense | 3.98 | |
- Administrative Expense | 2.35 | 86.08 |
Contribution Margin | 88.93 | |
Contribution Margin (%) | 50.81% |
Answer 3
Breakeven Point (Units) = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin per unit = 689,250 / 88.93 = 7,750.91 ~ 7,751 Units
Answer 4
Revised Fixed Cost = 689,250 + 200,000 = 889,250
Revised Breakeven Point = 889,250 / 88.93 = 10,000 Units
Answer 5
Sales (units) to earn profit of $ 200,000 = (Fixed Cost + Desired Profit) / Contribution Margin Per unit = 12,249.09 ~ 12,249 Units
