Explanation / Answer

1.

2. Total Contribution Margin if company Breaks even

Breakeven point in units = Fixed Cost / (Selling Price - Variable cost)

= $13,744 / ($30.40 - $14.40) = 859 units

Total Contribution Margin at break even = 859 units x $16 = $13,744

3. Contribution Margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

= $30.40 - $14.40 = $16

Contribution Margin Ratio = (Contribution Margin / Selling Price) x 100

   = ($16 / $30.40) x 100 = 52.63%

4. Break even point in units = Fixed Cost / (Selling Price - Variable cost)

= $13,744 / ($30.40 - $14.40) = 859 units

   Break even Sales Revenue = $30.40 x 859 units = $26,113.60

5. Target Unit Sales = ( Fixed Cost + Desired Profit) / Contribution Margin per unit

= ( $13,744 + $21,000 ) / $16

= 2172 units
