a. Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / sales = 500,000 / 1,400,000 = 0.357
b. Contribution margin per unit = Contribution margin / # of units sold = 500,000 / 10,000 = 50 Unit sales to break-even = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit = 300,000 / 50 = 6,000 c. Increase in net operating income = 100 * 50 = 5,000 d. Unit sales to attain target profit = ( Fixed expenses + Target Profits) / Contribution margin per unit = (300,000 + 225,000) / 50 = 10,500 e. Selling price per unit = Total sales / # of units sold = 1,400,000 / 10,000 = 140 Margin of safety in dollars = Total sales – Break even sales = Total sales – ( Selling price per unit * Break even point in units ) = 1,400,000 – ( 140 * 6000 ) = 560,000 f. Degree of operating leverage = Contribution Margin / Operating Income = 500,000 / 200,000 = 2.5
