Selling Price per unit = $30
Variable costs per unit = Variable expenses / 13,300 units =
$239,400 / 13,300 units = $18 per unit.
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable
costs per unit = $30 - $18 = $12 per unit.
1. Company's CM ratio = Contribution margin per unit / Selling
price per unit = $12 / $30 = 40%
Break point in unit sales = Fixed expenses / Contribution margin
per unit = $177,600 / $12 per unit = 14,800 units.
Break point in dollar sales = Break point in unit sales * Selling
price per unit = 14,800 units * $30 per unit = $444,000.
2. Increase in contribution due to increase in monthly
advertising budget = Amount of increase in sales * Contribution
margin ratio = $88,000 * 40% = $35,200
Change in fixed expenses = $6,300
Change in operating income = Increase in contribution margin -
Change in fixed expenses = $35,200 - $6,300 = $28,900.
If the president is right then, the monthly operating income will
increase by $28,900.
3. New selling price = $30 - 10% = $27 per unit
Variable expenses per unit = $18 per unit.
New Contribution margin per unit = $27 - $18 = $9 per unit.
Unit sales = Old unit sales * 2 = 13,300 units * 2 = 26,600
units.
New Contribution margin = Contribution margin per unit * 26,600
units = $9 per unit * 26,600 units = $239,400
New fixed expenses = Old fixed expenses + $39,000 = $177,600 +
39,000 = $216,600
Revised net operating income = New Contribution margin - New fixed
expenses = $239,400 - $216,600 = $22,800
4.Target profit = $4,100
Revised variable cost per unit = $18 per unit + Increase in
packaging costs = $18 + $0.7 = $18.70 per unit.
Revised contribution margin = Selling price per unit - Revised
variable costs per unit = $30 - $18.70 = $11.30 per unit
Units to be sold to achieve target profit = ( Fixed expenses +
Target profit ) / Revised Contribution margin per unit = ( $177,600
+ 4,100 ) / $11.30 = 16,079.65 or 16,080 units.
