Answer:
1. 73 %
2. 27 %
3. $60,000
4. Ways to increase projected operating income without increasing total sales revenue :
- Reduce the variable costs per unit
- Reduce fixed overheads
Explanation:
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales × 100
Where,
Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs
= $88,000 - $23,760
= $64,240
Then,
Contribution Margin Ratio = $64,240/ $88,000 × 100
= 73 %
Variable Cost Ratio = Variable Cost / Sales × 100
= $23,760 / $88,000 × 100
= 27 %
Break-even sales revenue = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
= $43,800 ÷ 0.73
= $60,000
<u>Ways to increase projected operating income without increasing total sales revenue :</u>
- Reduce the variable costs per unit
- Reduce fixed overheads
Answer:
$10,950 Unfavorable
Explanation:
For computation of flexible budget variance for total costs first we need to find out the standard cost which is shown below:-
Standard cost = (Sold connectors × budgeted variable costs) + Fixed costs per month
= (77 × $150) + $5,500
= $11,550 + $5,500
= $17,050
Flexible budget variance for total costs = Actual cost - Standard cost
= $28,000 - $17,050
= $10,950 Unfavorable
