Answer: Option B

   

Explanation: An organisation can earn sustainable competitive advantage in the market only if they have some special assets or rights that they can use to attract the customer and maintain their base for a period of time.

Contribution Margin Ratio, Variable Cost Ratio, Break-Even Sales Revenue The controller of Ashton Company prepared the following
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

1.  73 %

2. 27 %

3. $60,000

4. Ways to increase projected operating income without increasing total sales revenue :

  1. Reduce the variable costs per unit
  2. Reduce fixed overheads

Explanation:

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales × 100

Where,

Contribution = Sales - Variable Costs

                     = $88,000 - $23,760

                     = $64,240

Then,

Contribution Margin Ratio = $64,240/ $88,000 × 100

                                           = 73 %

Variable Cost Ratio = Variable Cost / Sales × 100

                                = $23,760 / $88,000 × 100

                                = 27 %

Break-even sales revenue = Fixed Costs ÷  Contribution Margin Ratio

                                            = $43,800 ÷ 0.73

                                            = $60,000

<u>Ways to increase projected operating income without increasing total sales revenue :</u>

  1. Reduce the variable costs per unit
  2. Reduce fixed overheads
