Answer #1

SALES =$820000

VARIABLE COST = $820000*80%=$656000

CONTRIBUTION = $820000-$656000=$164000

FIXED COST +PROFIT= CONTRIBUTION

FIXED COST -LOSS = CONTRIBUTION

AT BREAK EVEN POINT PROFIT WILL BE ZERO

FIXED COST +0 =$164000

FIXED COST = $164000

COMPANY HAS LOSS OF $32000 IT MEANS CONTRIBUTION

FIXED COST-LOSS = CONTRIBUTION

$164000-$32000=$132000

CONTRIBUTION IS 20% OF SALES SO WE CAN CALCULATE SALES AS FOLLOW

SALES= (CONTRIBUTION *100)/(100-VARIABLE COST)

($132000*100)/(100-80)=$660000
