Sam's Dog toys sells a Red toy and a Blue toy. The contribution margin for the Red toy is $5 and for the Blue toy is $10. The expected sales mix is 60% for Red toy and 40% for Blue toy. The total fixed costs amount to $3,000 and the company desires to earn a profit of $500. What is the sale volume in units necessary to reach the desired profit

Answer 1

Answer:

500 units

Explanation:

The computation of the sales units in volume to achieve the desired profit is shown below:

= (Fixed cost + target profit) ÷ (contribution margin per unit)

= ($3,000 + $500) ÷ ($5 × 60% + $10 × 40%)

= $3,500 ÷ 7

= 500 units

Hence, the sales units in volume to achieve the desired profit is 500 units

The above formula should be applied to determine the sales units

hence, the same would be considered
