Sales
$280,000
Variable Expenses $175,000
Fixed Expenses $70,000
REQUIRED:
Compute the CM Ratio and the Variable Expense Ratio
Compute the Break-Even Point in BOTH unit sales and dollar sales
Assume that next year management wants the company to earn a profit of at least $175,000. How many units will have to be sold to meet this target profit?
Refer to the original data, compute the Margin of Safety in BOTH dollar and percentage
Compute the degree of operating Leverage.
Assume that through more intense sales effort, sales will increase by 5%. By what percentage would you expect Operating Income to increase? Utilize operating leverage.
In an effort to increase sales and profits, management is considering using a higher quality material. This would increase variable costs by $7 per year and we could eliminate a salaried employee who is paid $28000 per year. Assuming the changes are made, compute company's new Break-Even Point in BOTH unit sales and Dollar Sales.
