Question

Question 1 Presto Company makes radios that sell for $25 each. For the coming year, management expects fixed costs to total $190,200 and variable costs to be $17.50 per unit. [x] Your answer is incorrect. Try again. Compute the break-even point in dollars using the contribution margin (CM) ratio. (Round answer to O decimal places, e.g. 1,225.) Break-even point 25,360 [ Your answer is incorrect. Try again. Compute the margin of safety ratio assuming actual sales are $890,000. (Round margin of safety ratio to 2 decimal places, e.g. 10.50.) Margin of safety Your answer is incorrect. Try again. Compute the sales dollars required to earn net income of $70,800. Required sales 704,800

Explanation / Answer

CM ratio = (sales – VC)/ sales

              = (25 – 17.5)/25

              = .3 or 30%

BEP $ = Fixed cost/ CM ratio

              = 190200/.3

                = $634000

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Margin safety ratio = Margin of safety in dollars / Total budgeted or actual sales

                                     = (Total sales – BEP sales)/ total sale

                                       = (890000 – 634000)/890000

                                      = 0.2876 or 28.76%

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Required sale for desired profit = (FC + desired profit)/ CM ratio

                                                         = (190200 + 70800)/ .3

                                                          = $870000
