Answer 1

Solution:

1.). Contribution margin income statement

See below:

 

2.). Break-even point in units:

Break-even point in units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Revenue per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit)

Break-even point in units = $\frac{700,000}{(400 - 160)} = 2,917 units$

3.). Break-even in value:

Break-even in value = $\frac{Fixed \;Costs}{Contribution \;margin}$

Contribution margin = $\frac{Contribution}{Total \;sales}$ $=\frac{100,000}{4,000,000}\times 100 = 2.5\%$

Break-even in value = $=\frac{700,000}{2.5\%} = 28,000,000$

4.). Total sales – COGS – Selling and administrative expenses – Fixed costs = 300,000

X – 2,400,000 – 1,500,000 – 700,000 = 300,000

X – 4,600,000 = 300,000

X = 300,000 + 4,600,000 = 4,900,000

Total Sales = 4,900,000

Budget sales in units = 4,900,000/10,000 = 490 units

5.). Total sales – COGS – Selling and administrative expenses – Fixed costs = 400,000

X – 2,400,000 – 1,500,000 – 700,000 = 400,000

X – 4,600,000 = 400,000

X = 300,000 + 4,600,000 = 5,000,000

Total Sales = 5,000,000

6.). a). Target net income before taxes:

Net income after taxes is 80%, find 100%?

Net income before taxes = $500,000\times \frac{100\%}{80\%} = 625,000$

Net income before taxes = LE 625,000

b.). Target sales in units = $\frac{625,000}{10,000} = 62.5 \;units$

c.). Targeted sales value:

First derive net income before taxes:

Net income after taxes is 80%, find 100%?

Net income before taxes = $625,000\times \frac{100\%}{80\%} = 781,250$ 6

Total sales – COGS – Selling and administrative expenses – Fixed costs = 781,250

X – 2,400,000 – 1,500,000 – 700,000 = 781,250

X – 4,600,000 = 781,250

X = 781,250 + 4,600,000 = 1,241,250

Total Target Sales = 1,241,250
