How many units must be sold to earn operating income of $296,400

Answer 1

A)VCPU = VC / UNITS

$8,190,000 / 450,000

=$18.20

B)CONTRIBUTION MARGIN PER UNIT =$ 3,510,000 / 450,000

=$7.80

C)CONTRIBUTION MARGIN RATIO = CONTRIBUTION / SALES

=>30%

D)SALES PRICE = $26

BEP IN UNITS = FC / CONTRIBUTION PER UNIT

= $2254200 / $7.8

=289,000 UNITS

BEP IN $ = FC / PV RATIO

=$2254200 / 30%

= $7,514,000

2 A) SALES REQUIRED = (FC + DESIRED PROFIT ) / PV RATIO

= $(2254200 + 296,400) / 30%

=$8,502,000 / 26
