a) Calculation of break even sales revenue: | |||||||
Break even sales revenue= Fixed cost/ contribution margin ratio | |||||||
Contribution margin ratio= contribution/sales*100 | |||||||
Contribution margin ratio of product 1= 9/15*100=60% | |||||||
Contribution margin ratio of product 2= 4/20*100=20% | |||||||
Total contribution margin= 60*0.30+20*0.70 | |||||||
=18+14= 32% | |||||||
Break even sales revenue= 56000/0.32= $175000 | |||||||
Break even sales revenue= $175000 | |||||||
b) Calculation of target sales revenue: | |||||||
Target sales revenue= (fixed cost+operating income)/contribution margin ratio | |||||||
Contribution margin ratio of product 1= 9/15*100=60% | |||||||
Contribution margin ratio of product 2= 4/20*100=20% | |||||||
Contributio margin ratio= 60*0.20+20*0.80 | |||||||
= 12+16=28% | |||||||
Target sales revenue= (56000+16000)/0.28 | |||||||
= 72000/0.28=257142.86 | |||||||
Target sales revenue= $257143 | |||||||
