Question

Hi, Please answer this 2 part question.

Required information [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.) Praveen Co. manufactures and markets a number of rope products. Management is considering the future of Product XT, a special rope for hang gliding, that has not been as profitable as planned. Since Product XT is manufactured and marketed independently of the other products, its total costs can be precisely measured. Next year's plans call for a $240 selling price per 100 yards of XT rope. Its fixed costs for the year are expected to be $235,200, up to a maximum capacity of 550,000 yards of rope. Forecasted variable costs are $192 per 100 yards of XT rope. 1. Estimate Product XT's break-even point in terms of sales units and sales dollars. (1 unit = 100 yards) (Do not round intermediate calculations.) Contribution Margin per 100 yds.

Answer 1

Part 1

Contribution margin			Per 100 yds
	Sales		240
Less	variable cost		192
		Contribution margin	$48
Contribution margin ratio
	Choose Numerator	/	choose Denominator	=	contribution margin ratio
	CM per unit	/	sales per unit	=	contribution margin ratio
	48	/	240	=	20%
1(a) Estimate Product XT’s break-even point in terms of sales units. (1 unit = 100 yards)
	Choose Numerator	/	choose Denominator	=	break even units
	Fixed costs	/	contribution margin Per unit		Breakeven units
	235200	/	48		4900 units
1(b)Estimate Product XT’s break-even point in terms of sales dollars.
	Choose Numerator	/	choose Denominator	=	break even dollars
	Fixed costs	/	contribution margin ratio		Breakeven dollars
	235200	/	20%		$1176000
