Explanation / Answer

Hi,


Please find the answers as follows:


Part 1:


Selling Price Per Unit = (Contribution + Variable Cost)/Sales at Break Even = (249600+633600)/9600 = $92


Note:

Contribution is equal to fixed cost at break even point.


Part 2:


Sales = (Fixed Cost + Estimated/Desired Profit/Contribution Per Unit = (119000 + .35*119000)/(59 - 45) = 11475 Units


Part 3:


MOS = Sales - Break Even Sales


Break Even Sales in Dollars = Fixed Cost/Contribution Margin Ratio = (105000 + 111000)/(256200/1464000) = 1234286


MOS = 1464000 - 1234286 = 229714


Thanks.
