Explanation / Answer

Answer a

Note : Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - variable costs per unit = $44 - $24 = $20

Break even in units = Annual Fixed costs / Contribution per unit = $360,000 / $20 = 18,000 units

Answer b

Target profit = $80,000

Target total contribution = Target profit + Annual Fixed costs = $80,000 + $360,000 = $440,000

Units to produce & sell to achieve target profit = Target total contribution / Contribution per unit

= $440,000 / $20 = 22,000 units

Answer c

Note : Cobtribution per unit (new) = $34 - $24 = $10

Target profit = $80,000

Target total contribution = Target profit + Annual Fixed costs = $80,000 + $360,000 = $440,000

Units to produce & sell to achieve target profit = Target total contribution / Contribution per unit (new)

= $440,000 / $10 =  44,000 units
