15 Total                                 $525,000.00       $120.00

Selling price per unit = $160

Sales volume = 27,000 units

Sales revenue = $4,320,000 ($160 * 27,000)

Variable production cost = $106 per unit

Total variable production costs = $2,862,000 ($106 * 27,000)

Fixed production cost =                     200,000

Total production cost =                $3,062,000

                                                   Total          Per Unit

Sales revenue =                    $4,320,000    $160

Total fixed costs:

Production costs = $200,000

Selling and admin = 325,000

Total fixed costs = $525,000

Break-even point = Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The gross profit margin of Candy Company is 65% (second option)

Explanation:

The gross profit margin is defined as:

Mg = (sales - costs) / price of sales  

If for Candy Company the cost are $112,000 and sales $320,000 then the gross profit margin is:

Mg = ($320,000- $112,000) * 100% / $320,000  =  

Mg = $208,000 * 100% / $320,000  =  0.65 * 100%

Mg  =  0.65 * 100%  

Mg  =  65%
