Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Required 1.

Break even point (dollar sales) =   $750,000

Required 2.

Break even point (dollar sales) = $1,250,000

Required 3.

ASTRO COMPANY

Forecasted Contribution Margin Income Statement

For Year Ended December 31, 2016

Sales                             $ 1,000,000

Variable costs               ($ 400,000 )

Contribution margin      $ 600,000

Fixed costs                    ($ 450,000 )

Net loss                           $ 150,000

Required 4.

Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = $1,833,333

Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = 73,334

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of activity where a Company neither makes a profit nor a loss.

<em>Break even point (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin Ratio</em>

Where,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales

                                           = $ 200,000 / $ 1,000,000

                                           = 0.20

Therefore,

Break even point (dollar sales) = $250,000 / 0.20

                                                   = $1,250,000

<u>Assuming the machine is installed</u>

Contribution Margin Ratio = ($ 1,000,000 - $400,000) / $ 1,000,000

                                           = $600,000 / $1,000,000

                                           = 0.60

Therefore,

Break even point (dollar sales) = ($250,000 + $200,000) / 0.60

                                                   = $750,000

Sales to meet target profit of $200,000

Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost + Target Profit  / Contribution Margin Ratio

                                                                  = ($450,000 + $200,000) / 0.60

                                                                  = $1,833,333

Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = $1,833,333 / $25

                                                               = 73,334

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The answer is B In horizontal percentage analysis, a financial statement line item is expressed as a percentage of the previous balance of the same item.

Explanation:

Horizontal analysis of a balance sheet shows changes in individual assets, liability, and equity items over time.

Horizontal analysis of an income statement compares the amount of each item on a current income statement with the same item on an earlier income statement.

Horizontal analysis is used in financial statement analysis to compare historical data, such as ratios, or line items, over a number of accounting periods. Horizontal analysis can either use absolute comparisons or percentage comparisons, where the numbers in each succeeding period are expressed as a percentage of the amount in the baseline year, within the baseline amount being listed as 100%.
