Explanation / Answer
A. Wosley Industries Inc.
Estimated Income Statement
For 2016
B. Expected Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Selling Price = $ ( 160 - 128) / $ 160 * 100 = 0.20 or 20 %.
C. Break-even sales units = Total Fixed Cost / Unit Contribution Margin = $ 511,200 / $ 32 = 15,975 units.
Break-even dollar sales = Total Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin Ratio = $ 511,200 / 0.20 = $ 2,556,000
E. Expected margin of safety in dollars = Actual Sales Revenue - Break-even Sales Revenue = $ 3,408,000 - $ 2,556,000 = $ 852,000.
Expected margin of safety percentage = $ 852,000 / $ 3,408,000 * 100 = 25 %.
F. Operating Leverage = Contribution Margin / Net Operating Income = $ 681,600 / $ 170,400 = 4 times.
