Information given

Touring
$132.00

Model
Mountaineering
$120.00

Selling price
/unit
Variable cost
$79.20
$79.20
/unit
The firm will be able to produce up to 15000 pairs

The sales department assures management that it can

sell between 9000 and 13000 units of either product this yea
Fixed cost : $554,400.00 ( touring model )
Fixed cost : $475,200.00 ( mountaineering model )

Q1. Compute the contribution margin ratio for


the mountaineering model.

- Unit contribution margin ratio : unit


contribution margin/unit sale price
: $40.80 / $120
Answer : 0.34 (34%)
- Unit contribution margin : selling price/unit
variable cost/unit
: $120.00 - $79.20
Answer : $40.80

Q2. If Great Nothern Ski Company desires an


after tax net income of $33,120.00, how many
pairs of mountaineering skis will the company
have to sell?
Sales revenue variable expenses fixed
expenses : profit
( $120 x X ) ( $79.20 x X ) - $475,200.00 :
$33,120.00
120X 79.20X - $475,200.00 :
$33,120.00
40.80X :
$508,320.00

Q3. How much would the variable cost per unit


of mountaineering model have to change before
it had the same break even point in units as the
touring model ?
Break even point : fixed expense/unit contribution
margin
: 554,400.00 / ($132.00 $79.20)
: 10,500 units
10,500 units : 475,200.00 / ($120.00 X)
1260000 10,500X : 475,200.00

Q4. Suppose the variable cost per unit of the


mountaineering skis decreases by 10 percent,
and the total fixed cost of mountaineering skis
increases by 10 percent. Compute the new break
even point
Variable cost : $79.20 ( 10% x $79.20 )
: $71.28
Fixed cost: $475,200.00 + ( 10% x
475,200.00)
: $522,720.00

( $120 x X ) ( $71.28 x X ) - $522,720.00 : 0


120X 71.28X - $522,720.00 : 0
48.72X :
$522,720.00
X:
10,729 units

Q5. Suppose management decided to produce


both products. If the two models are sold in
equal proportions, and total fixed costs amount
to $514,800, what is the firms break-even point
in units
