Answer:

1. $50 and 40%

2. 177 units and $22,125

3. 473 units and 72.77%

Explanation:

Price = $125

Variable cost = $75

Fixed cost =$8,850

Contribution margin is the net of sales price and variable cost of the product. It is the cost available to recover the fixed cost and make profit afterward.

1. Contribution margin = Sales price - Variable cost = $125 - $75 = $50

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sale price = $50 / $125 = 40%

Break-even is the level of sales at which business has no profit no loss situation.

2. Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit = $8,850 / $50 = 177 units

Break-even in $ = 177 units x $125 = $22,125

Margin of safety is the level of sales at which the business is safe from making loss. Margin of safety measures the profit after the break-even point.

3. Margin of Safety = Total sales - Break-even point = 650 units - 177 units = 473 units

Margin of safety to sales = ( Margin of safety / Total sales ) = ( 473 units / 650 units ) x 100 = 72.77%

sergiy2304 [10]

In 2018, your hotel bill in dollars compared to the cost in 2016 would have been <u>more</u>.

<h3>Why would the cost be higher?</h3>

In the year 2016 the U.S. dollar could buy more Euros that it could in the year 2018.This means that the Euro got stronger.

With the Euro being stronger in 2018 than it was in 2016, spending in Euros would attract more U.S. dollars being spent so the cost of the hotel bill would have been more in 2018.
