Solutions

Expert Solution

a) Calculation of break even point in units:
Contribution margin per unit=225000/15000=$15
Break even point in units= Fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit
                                                  =185000/15=12333.33 units
Break even point in units= 12333.33 units
Break even point indollars=12333.33*29=$357666.57
b)Calculation of net operating income
Particulars Amount
Sales(435000*1.25) 543750
Less: Variable costs(210000*1.25) 262500
Contribution 281250
Less: Fixed factory overhead(100000-18000) 82000
Less: Fixed selling and other expense 85000
Net operating income 114250
c)Calculation of sales:
Sales=(fixed cost+target income)/ contribution per unit
         =(185000+115000)/15=20000 units
Sales=20000 units
d)Calculation of net operating income
Particulars Amount
Sales 435000
Less:Direct material 60000

Contribution 262500
Less: Fixed factory overhead(100000*2) 200000
Less: Fixed selling and other expense 85000
Net operating income -22500
contribution per unit=262500/15000=$17.5
Break even point in units=(200000+85000)/17.5=16285.71 units
