Req 1: | |||||||
Selling price: $20 | |||||||
Variable cost: $ 14 | |||||||
Contribution margin: Selling price - Variable cost = 20 -14 = $6 | |||||||
Sales units: 2000 units | |||||||
Contnribution margin earned: 2000*6 = $ 12,000 | |||||||
Req 2: Fixed cost: $ 9000 | |||||||
Net income: Contribution-Fixed cost = 12000 -9000 = $3000 | |||||||
Req 3: | |||||||
Operating lverage: Contribution/ Net income = 12000 /3000 = 4 | |||||||
Req 4: | |||||||
Net sale sincrease: 5% | |||||||
Net income increase by 20% (i.e. 5%*4) | |||||||
Req 5: | |||||||
Selling price: $20 | |||||||
Variable cost: $ 14 | |||||||
Contribution margin: Selling price - Variable cost = 20 -14 = $6 | |||||||
Req 6: | |||||||
CM ratio: Contirbution margin per unit/ Selling pricec = 6 /20 = 30% | |||||||
Req 7; | |||||||
Break even unit: fixed cost / Contribution per unit = 9000 /6 = 1500 units | |||||||
Req 8: | |||||||
Break even in $: Fixed cost/ CM ratio = 9000 /30% = $ 30,000 | |||||||
Req 9: | |||||||
Desired income: $ 6000 | |||||||
Desired contribution: 9000+6000 = $ 15000 | |||||||
Targete sales in units: Desired contribution/ CMm per unit = 15000/6= 2500 units | |||||||
Req 10: | |||||||
Target sales in $: Desired contribution/ CM ratio = 15000/30% = $50,000 | |||||||
Req11: | |||||||
Margin of safety in units: total sales units-Break evn units = 2000 -1500 = 500 units | |||||||
Req 12 | |||||||
Margin of safety: Net income / Cm ratio = 3000 /30% = $ 10,000 | |||||||
Req 13 | |||||||
% of margin of safety to total sales = 500/2000*100=25% | |||||||
