Answer:
Part 1 – Compute the new break-even point in units and in sales if selling Price is 600 as follows:
Break-even point (in units) = Fixed cost / Contribution per unit
Here,
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit – Variable cost per unit
Substitute the values and obtain net as.
Break-even point (in units) = $374400 / $600 - $150
Break-even point (in units) = $374400/ $450
Break-even point (in units) = 832 Canoes
Break-even point (in dollars) = Fixed cost / contribution margin ratio
Here.
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin per unit / Selling price per unit
Substitute the values and obtain net as.
Break-even point (in dollars) = $374400 / (450/600)
Break-even point (in dollars) = $374400 / 75%
Break-even point (in dollars) = $499200
Part 2 – Compute the margin of Safety if 900 canoes are sold as follows:
Margin of safety (In $) = Actual sales (In $) – Break-even sales (In $)
Substitute the values and obtain net as.
Margin of safety (In $) = (600 x 900) – 4499200
Margin of safety (In $) = $540000 – 499200
Margin of safety (In $) = $40800
Margin of safety (as a %) = Margin of safety (In $) / Total sales (In $) x 100
Substitute the values and obtain net as.
Margin of safety (as a %) = 40800 / 540800 x100
Margin of safety (as a %) = 7.56%
Part 3 – Compute the units to be sold to earn desired profit as follows;
Units to be sold to earn desired profit = (Fixed cost + Desired profit) / Contribution per unit
Substitute the values and obtain net as.
Units to be sold to earn desired profit = (374400 + 110000) / 450
Units to be sold to earn desired profit = 484400 / 450
Units to be sold to earn desired profit = 1076.44
Units to be sold to earn desired profit = 1077 units
Answer:
Explanation:
1) Break even point calculation:
(in units) = Fixed cost/contribution per unit
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Break-even in units = 374400/(600-150) = 832 units
(in dollars) = Fixed cost/Contribution margin ratio
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin per unit/Selling price per unit = 450/600
So, break-even in units is 374400/ (450/600) = 499200
2) Margin of safety formula = Actual sales - Break-even sales
Actual sales = 900
Margin of safety = 900 - 832 = 68
Margin of safety as a percentage = Margin of safety/Total sales *100%=
= 68/900 * 100% = 7.56%
3) Units to be sold in order to earn desired profit =
(Fixed cost+Desired profit)/Contribution per unit;
Fixed cost = 374,400
Desired profit = 110,000
Contribution per unit = 450
So, if we input these data into the formula, (374,400+110,000)/450 = 1077 units
