Explanation / Answer

As per policy, only one question is allowed to answer, so answering 12-4 :

12-4)

a) Break Even Point = Fixed Cost / Contribution per pair of shoe (ie. Selling price - Variable costs)

= $170000 / $85 - $58 = 6296.30 shoes

b) The dollar sales volume to achieve the break even point = 6296.30 pairs * $85/shoe pair = $535185.50

c)

Profit at sale of 7000 pairs of shoes = (No. of pairs * Contribution per pair ) – Fixed costs = (7000*(85-58) – 170000 = $19000

Profit at sale of 9000 pairs of shoes = (No. of pairs * Contribution per pair ) – Fixed costs = (9000*(85-58) – 170000 = $73000

Profit at sale of 15000 pairs of shoes = (No. of pairs * Contribution per pair ) – Fixed costs = (15000*(85-58) – 170000 = $235000
