Answer:

Lorge Corporation

Contribution margin for the current year

= $315,000 ($3 per unit)

Contribution margin for the proposed year = $346,500

Fixed costs for the current year = $473,100

Break-even units = 157,700 units

Break-even sales dollars = $2,365,500

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Sales revenue = $1,575,000  

Sales units = 105,000 units

Sales price per unit = $15 ($1,575,000/105,000)

                                                  Total        Variable               Fixed

Selling expenses =            $250,000     $100,000 (40%)   $150,000 (60%)

Direct materials                  $606,100       606,100

Direct labor                       $250,000       250,000

Administrative expenses $270,000          54,000 (20%)    216,000 (80%)

Manufacturing overhead $357,000       249,900 (70%)      107,100 (30%)

Total costs                       $1,733,100  $1,260,000              $473,100

Contribution margin for the current year = $315,000 ($1,575,000 - $1,260,000)

= $3 per unit

Unit sales = 115,500 (105,000 * 1.1)

Sales revenue = $1,732,500

Variable costs      1,386,000 ($15 - $3)

Contribution margin for the proposed year = $346,500 ($3 * 115,500)

Fixed costs for the current year = $473,100

Break-even units = $473,100/$3 = 157,700 units

Break-even sales dollars = $473,100/0.2 = $2,365,500
