Answer:

1. Break even points = 400 units

margin of safety = $100

Explanation:

Given data:

budget revenue in 2017 = $1,500,000

Fixed cost =$400,000

total marketing plan = 500

take contribution margin/unit =  Revenue - variable cost

                                                = 3000 - 2000

contribution margin/unit = $1000

take break even sales $400

break even point    

Break even point  

margin of safety is calculated as

margin of safety  = total quantity to be sold - break even sales

                            = 500 - 400 = $100

2. A.

(1)  

 

Break even in marketing plan = 400

(2) Break-even in dollars:

= Break-even in marketing plan × Average rate per plan

= 400 × 3,000

= 1,200,000

(3) Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break-even sales in dollars

                               = 1,500,000 - 1,200,000

                               = 300,000

 

 

                                            = 20%

B.

(1) Contribution margin per marketing plan = Sales - Variable cost

                                                                  =  $4,000 - $2,000

                                                                  = $2,000

 

 

Break even in marketing plan = 200

(2) Break-even in dollars:

= Break-even in marketing plan × Average rate per plan

= 200 × 4,000

= 800,000

(3) Margin of safety = Actual sales - Break-even sales in dollars

                               = 1,500,000 - 800,000

                               = 700,000

 

 

                                            = 47%

Therefore, option (a) would achieve the margin of safety ratio more than 45%.

B-3a=2 3B- 6a=12 solve algebraicly show steps
lora16 [44]
B - 3A = 2
3B - 6A = 12

(2)B - (6)A =4
3B - 6A = 12

Subtract

-B = -8
B = 8

Plugin 8 for B

8 - 3A = 2
8 = 3A + 2
6 = 3A
2 = A

(Double checking)
3(8) - 6A = 12
-6A = 12-24 = -12
- 6A = -12
Divide by -6
A= 2
It works

A = 2. B = 8. Hope this helps
