Explanation / Answer

1. Company Wide Break Even Point:

Segment Margin Ratio: East =80%, West = 20%

Share of East and West in Net Operating Income:

East = 84,000 x 80% = $67,200

West = 84,000 x 20% = $16,800

Contribution Margin Ratio:

East = 182,000 / 650,000 = 28%, West = 91,000 / 260,000 =35%

Margin of Safety Sales:

East = 67,200 / 28 x 100 = $240,000

West = 16,800 / 35 x 100 = $48,000

BEP Sale of East:

Actual Sales - MOS Sales

BEP Sales of East: 650,000 - 240,000 = $410,000

BEP Sales of West: 260,000 - 48,000 = $212,000

Total BEP Sales = $622,000

2. BEP of East:

MOS = Segment Margin / 28(Contribution Margin) x 100

MOS = 112,000 / 28 x 100 = $400,000

BEP = Actual Sales - MOS

BEP = 650,000 - 400,000 =$250,000

3. BEP of West:

MOS = Segment Margin / 28(Contribution Margin) x 100

MOS = 28,000 / 35 x 100 = $80,000

BEP = Actual Sales - MOS

BEP = 260,000 - 80,000 =$180,000
