CM Ratio | 28 % |
Unit sales to break-even | 30,000 balls |
3. Sales in units required to earn $ 90,000 as last year = $ ( 210,000 + 90,000 ) / $ 7 = 42,857.14 or 42,858 balls
4. Selling price per ball that the company must charge next year : $ 30 per ball.
Required CM ratio = 40 %
Let the selling price per ball be P.
( P - 18 ) / P = 0.40
or P = $ 30
5. New variable cost per ball = $ 15 - 40 % = $ 9
New fixed expenses = $ 210,000 x 2 = $ 420,000
New CM Ratio = $ ( 25 - 9 ) / $ 25 = 64 %
New break-even point = $ 420,000 / $ 16 = 26,250 balls.
6.a. Unit sales required to earn $ 90,000 as last year = $ ( 420,000 + 90,000 ) / $ 16 = 31,875 balls.
