Explanation / Answer

(a) Compute the company's contribution margin per unit. Sales per unit $150 per unit Less: Variable cost per unit 120 per unit Contribution margin $30 per unit (b) Compute the company's contribution margin ratio. Choose Numerator: / Choose Denominator: = Contribution margin ratio Contribution margin per unit / Sales per unit = Contribution margin ratio $30 / $150 = 20% (c) Compute the company's break-even point in units. Choose Numerator: / Choose Denominator: = Break-even units Fixed costs / Contribution margin per unit = Break-even units $471,000 / $30 = 15700 units (d) Compute the company's break-even point in dollars of sales. Choose Numerator: / Choose Denominator: = Break-even dollars Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio = Break-even dollars $471,000 / 20% = $2,355,000
