Question

Blanchard Company manufactures a single product that sells for $ 180 per unit and whose total variable costs are $ 126 per unit . The company's annual fixed costs are $ 842,400 . ( 1 ) Prepare a contribution margin Income statement for Blanchard Company showing sales , variable costs , and fixed costs at the break even point . ( 2 ) Assume the company's fixed costs increase by $ 141.000 . What amount of sales ( dollars ) is needed to break even

Answer 1

Part 1

Income Statement at 15,600 units

Sales ($ 180 x 15,600) $2,808,000

Less Variable Costs ($126 x 15,600) ($1,965,600)

Contribution $842,400

Less Fixed Costs ($842,400)

Net Income $0

Part 2

$3,278,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Break even (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit

= $ 842,400 ÷ ($ 180 - $126)

= 15,600 units

Assume the company's fixed costs increase by $ 141.000

Break even (units) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit

= ($ 842,400 + $ 141.000) ÷ ($ 180 - $126)

= 18,212 units

Break even Revenue = 18,212 x $ 180 = $3,278,000
