Contribution margin
Pretax income
(2) Compute the number of units expected to be sold next period.
Choose Numerator: / Choose Denominator: = Units
/ = Units

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

1. The computation of the total expected dollar sales for next period is given below:

Sales $4,410,000

Less: variable cost $1,764,000

Contribution margin $2,646,000

Less: fixed cost $2,364,000

Pre tax income $282,000

2. The number of units that should be sold is

= $2,646,000 ÷ $63 per unit

= 42,000 units

In this way it should be calculated
