Solution 1:
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / sales = $340,000 / $850,000 = 40%
Contribution margin per unit = $25 - $15 = $10 per unit
Breakeven sales units = Fixed cost / contribution margin per unit = $218,000 / 10 = 21800 units
Degree of operating leverage = Contribution margin / Net operating income = $340,000 / $122,000 = 2.79
Solution 2:
New variable cost per unit = $15 + $3 = $18 per ball
new contribution margin per unit = $25 - $18 = $7 per unit
New contribution margin ratio = $7 / $25 =28%
New breakeven point in balls = $218,000 / $7 = 31143 units
Solution 3:
Nos of balls to be sold to earn target income = (Fixed cost + Target profit) / contribution margin per unit
= ($218,000 + $122,000) / $7 = 48571 units
Solution 4:
Variable cost per unit = $18 per unit
Required contribution margin ratio = 40%
required variable cost ratio = 60%
New selling price per unit = $18 / 60% = $30 per unit
Solution 5:
New variable cost per unit = $15 * 60% = $9 per unit
New contribution margin per unit = 25- $9 = $16 per unit
New fixed costs = $218,000*2 = $436,000
New CM ratio = $16/$25 = 64%
New breakeven point = $436,000/ $16 = 27250 units
Solution 6a:
Nos of balls to be sold to earn target income = (Fixed cost + Target profit) / contribution margin per unit
= ($436,000 + $122,000) / $16 = 34875 units
