Total Per Unit
Sales $ 750,000 $ 30
Less: Variable expenses 525,000 21
Contribution margin 225,000 $ 9
Less: Fixed expenses 180,000
Net operating income $ 45,000

2. Without resorting to computations, calculate the total contribution margin at the break-even point.

3. How many units would have to be sold each quarter to earn a target profit of $36,900? Use the formula method.

4.

Refer to the original data. Compute the companys margin of safety for the quarter in both dollar and percentage terms. (Round "Percentage" answer to 1 decimal place, (i.e., 0.123 should be considered as 12.3%).)

5.

What is the companys CM ratio? If quarterly sales increase by $22,500 and there is no change in fixed expenses, by how much would you expect quarterly net operating income to increase? (Do not prepare an income statement; use the CM ratio to compute your answer.)
