Assume that actual sales for the month total $630,000 as planned. Actual sales by product are: White, $201,600; Fragrant, $252,000; and Loonzain, $176,400.

Required:

1. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the month based on the actual sales data.

2. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for the month based on your actual data.

Answer 1

Sales revenue 630,000

Variable expense (359,100)

Contribution Margin 270,900

Fixed (231,920)

Operating Income 38,980

break-even point: $ 538,348.84

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table we got: White Fragant Loonzain

Percentage of total sales 48% 20% 32%

Contribution margin 70% 20% 45%

We multiply the actual sales of eahc product by the contribution margin:

201,600 x 70% = 141, 120 White

252,000 x 20% = 50,400 Fragant

176,400 x 45% = 79,380 Loonzain

Total: 270,900 TOTAL

variable expense is calculate for the difference:

630,000 - 270,900 = 359,100

contribution margin mix:

we multiply the sales weight of each line with his contribution:

201,600/630,000 x 70% = 0.224

252,000/630,000 x 20% = 0.080

176,400/630,000 x 45% = 0.280

Total: 0.584

`(Fixed\:Cost)/(Contribution \:Margin \:Ratio) = Break\: Even\: Point_(dollars)`

`(231,920)/(0.584) = Break\: Even\: Point_(dollars)`

$ 538,348.84
