Explanation / Answer

1)Desired sales : [Fixed cost +Target income ]/CM ratio

=[900000+700000]/.36

= 1,600,000/.36

= $ 4,444,444.44

2)

Margin of safety sales in units :Actual sales -BEP sales

= 80000-72000

= 8000 units

Margin of safety ratio : Margin of safety sales /actual sales

= 8000/80000

= .10 or 10%

3)Selling price : 750 (1-.04)= 720

Contribution per unit : 720 --460 = 260

BEP(units)= Fixed cost /contribution per unit

= 780000/260

= 3000 units

4)contribution from Q drive :price -variable cost

=210-165 =45

Contribution from Q drive plus : 255-180 = 75

Weighted average contribution margin ratio : [45*.30]+[75*.70]

= 13.5+ 52.5

= 66 per unit
