What is the contribution margin ratio?

What is the variable expense ratio?

If sales increase to 1,001 units, what would be the increase in net operating income?

If sales decline to 900 units, what would be the net operating income?

If the selling price increases by $1.50 per unit and the sales volume decreases by 100 units, what would be the net operating income?

If the variable cost per unit increases by $.50, spending on advertising increases by $1,000, and unit sales increase by 250 units, what would be the net operating income?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. $4.5

2. 45%

3. 55%

4. $4.50

5. $1,800

6. $3,150

7. $1,750

8. 500 units

9.$5,000

10. 2,300 units

11. $5,000

12. 2

13. 1.5%

Explanation:

1. Contribution margin per unit = Unit sales price - Variable cost per unit

• $10 - $5.5 = $4.5

2. Contribution margin ratio = (sales - variable expense) / Sales

• ($10,000 - $5,500) / $10,000

• $4,500/$10,000

•45%

3.Variable expense ratio = variable cost per unit / Sales per unit

•$5.5/$10 = 55%

4. Net operating income @1,000 - Net operating income @1,001

•@1,000 units

Sales (1,000 x 10) $10,000

Variable expense (1,000 x 5.5) $5,500

Contribution margin $4,500

Less: Fixed Cost $2,250

Net operating income $2,250

•@1,001 units

Sales (1,001 x 10) $10,010

Variable expense (1,001 x 5.5) $5,505.50

Contribution margin $4,504.50

Less: Fixed cost $2,250

Net operating income 2,254.50

Therefore, $2,254.50 - $2,250 = $4.50

5. Sales (900 x 10 ) $9,000

Variable expense (900 x 5.5) $4,950

Contribution margin $ 4,050

Less: Fixed cost $2,250

Total net operating income $1,800

6. Sales (900 x 11.50) $10,350

Variable cost (900 x 5.50) $4,950

Contribution margin $5,400

Less: Fixed cost $2,250

Net operating income $3,150

7. Sales (1,250 x 10) $12,500

Variable cost (1,250 x 6) $7,500

Contribution margin $5,000

Less: Fixed cost (2,250 + 1,000) $3,250

Net operating income $1,750

8. Break-even point in unit sales

BEP =Total fixed cost / (sale per unit - variable cost)

BEP = $2,250 / (10-5.5)

BEP = $2,250/$4.5

BEP = 500 units

9.Break-even point in dollar sales

BES = Total fixed expense/contribution margin ratio

BES = $2,250/([10,000-5,500]/10,000)

BES = $2,250/0.45

BES = $5,000

10. Let’s begin with the desired net operating income.

•$8,100 + Fixed cost = Contribution margin / (Sales per unit - Variable cost)

•$8,109 + $2,250 = $10,350/(10-5.50)

•$10,350/4.50

•2,300 units

11.Margin of safety = Projected sales - Break-even sales

MOS = $10,000(1,000 x 10) - $5,000 (as computed above #9)

MOS = $5,000

12. Degree of Operating leverage

DoL = (Sales-Variable cost) / (Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost)

DoL = ($10,000 - 5,500) / ($10,000 - 5,500 - 2,250)

DoL = $4,500/$2,250

DoL = 2

13. 3% / 2 = 1.5%

• DoL simply signifies how many times the operating profit increase or decrease in relation to sales.
