Explanation / Answer

Req 1. Selling price: $ 5 Variable cost: $ 2.60 Contribution margin per unit : 5.00 -2.60 = $ 2.40 per unit Desired profits: $ 1080 Contribution desired: 1080 +4800 = $ 5880 Desired sales units: Desired conribution/ CM per unit = 5880 /2.40 = 2450 units Req 2: Break even units: Fixed cost / CM per unit = 4800 /2.40 = 2,000 units Margin of safety: Sales - break even units = 2100-2000 = 100 units margin of safety in $: 100 units @$5: $ 500 Margin of safety: 100/2100 *100 = 4.76% Req 3: Contribution margin: 2100*2.4 = $ 5040 Net income: 100*2.40 = $ 240 DOL= Contribution/ Nnet income = 5040 /240 = 21 Req 4: Sales drop to :1848 units % decrease in sales (252/2100)*100= 12% Therefore, % decrease in Net income: 252% (i.e. 21*12) Contribution margin income Statement: Revenue (1848 units @5) 9240 Less: variabel cost (1848 units @2.60) 4804.8 Contribution margin   4435.2 Less: Fixed cost 4800 Net income -364.8 Original net income 240 Decrease in income -604.8 % decrease -252%
