Answer:

A weaker dollar benefits EXPORTERS and hurts IMPORTERS.

Explanation:

A weaker dollar means that the dollar depreciated against foreign currencies, meaning that you need more dollars to purchase foreign currencies. This results in higher prices for imported goods. On the other hand, a weaker dollar helps exporters because it lowers the price of US products sold to foreign countries. As exports grow and imports decrease, the dollar starts to appreciate again.

Answer:

1. Break-even in units is 6,000 units

2. Break-even in dollars is $720,000

3. Contribution Income Statement for 10,000 units

Sales revenue (10,000 x 120) $1,200,000

Variable cost (10,000 x 90) (900,000)

Contribution margin $300,000

Fixed cost (180,000)

Profit $120,000

4. Units to sell is 16,000

5. Dollars sale is $1,920,000

6. Contribution Income Statement for $2,400,000 sales revenue

Sales revenue (20,000 x 120) $2,400,000

Variable cost (120,000 x 90) (1,800,000)

Contribution margin $600,000

Fixed cost (180,000)

Profit $420,000

Explanation:

1. To compute the Break-even point in units,

Formula is BEP = total fixed cost / unit contribution margin

Step 1. Compute the unit contribution margin

Unit selling price $120

Less : variable cost 90

Unit contribution margin $30

Step 2. compute the unit break-even in units using the formula.

BEP = total fixed cost / unit contribution margin

BEP = $180,000 / 30

BEP = 6,000 units

2. To compute the Break-even point in dollars,

Formula is BES = total fixed cost / contribution margin ratio

Step 1. Compute the contribution margin ratio

Unit selling price $120

Less : variable cost 90

Unit contribution margin $30

So, $30 divided by $120 equals 25% (CMR)

Step 2. compute the unit break-even in dollars using the formula.

BEP = total fixed cost / contribution margin ratio

BEP = $180,000 / 25%

BEP = $720,000

3. To prepare the contribution margin income statement, we will multiply the units sold of 10,000 units by $120 to get the sales revenue. Then multiply 10,000 units by $90 to get the variable cost. Further illustration below;

Sales revenue (10,000 x 120) $1,200,000

Variable cost (10,000 x 90) (900,000)

Contribution margin $300,000

Fixed cost (180,000)

Profit $120,000

4. To compute the units to sell to realize the target profit we will use the formula:

(Total fixed cost + Target profit )/ unit contribution margin

Step 1. Compute the unit contribution margin

Unit selling price $120

Less : variable cost 90

Unit contribution margin $30

Step 2. compute the units to sell using the formula.

(Total fixed cost + target profit) / unit contribution margin

($180,000 + $300,000) / 30

Answer is 16,000 units

5. To compute the sales in dollars to realize the target profit of $300,000,

Formula is (Total fixed cost + target profit) / contribution margin ratio

Step 1. Compute the contribution margin ratio

Unit selling price $120

Less : variable cost 90

Unit contribution margin $30

So, $30 divided by $120 equals 25% (CMR)

Step 2. compute the target sales in dollars using the formula.

(Total fixed cost + target profit) / contribution margin ratio

($180,000 + $300,000) / 25%

$480,000 / 25%

Answer is $1,920,000

6. Contribution Income Statement for $2,400,000 sales revenue. FIRST we must determine how many unit are sold to have that sales revenue. $2,400,000 sales revenue divided by unit selling price equals 20,000 units. To further illustrate, see presentation below.

$2,400,000 / $120 = 20,000 units

Sales revenue (20,000 x 120) $2,400,000

Variable cost (120,000 x 90) (1,800,000)

Contribution margin $600,000

Fixed cost (180,000)

Profit $420,000
