Question

Suppose that the price is $30, unit variable cost is S6/unit, and total fixed costs are $1,600. Required: Compute the unit contribution margin and contribution margin ratio: unit CM= CM ratio= (enter CMR as a fraction of 1, not as %) Write down the CVP relation (version 2): profit as a function of sales revenue. (fill in the missing numbers in an equation like Profit = 0.35 * Revenue - 50). Profit = Revenue - Based on the CVP relation in (b), what is the breakeven revenue? Based on the CVP relation in (b), what is the sales revenue required to achieve target profit of $5,000?

Explanation / Answer

2(a). Contribution Margin           =          Revenues per Unit – Variable expenses Per Unit

                                                =          $30-$6

                                                =          $24

Contribution Margin Ratio         =          Contribution Margin Per unit/Sales price per unit

                                                =          $24/$30

                                                =          .80 or 80%

2(b).   Profit      =          Contribution Ratio * Revenue-Fixed Cost

                                   

            Profit    =          .80*Revenue-$1600

2(c). Profit                   =          Contribution ratio*Revenue-Fixed Cost  

            0                      =          .80revenue-$1600

            .80 Revenue      =          $1600

                  Revenue     =          $1600/.8

                                    =          $2000

     Break even Sales is the sales where the target profit is 0                   

2(d). Profit                    =          Contribution ratio*Revenue-Fixed Cost

            $5000               =          .80*Revenue-$1600

            .80Revenue       =          $5000+$1600

                  Revenue     =          $6600/.80

                                    =          $8250
