Question:
Hawk Homes, Inc., makes one type of birdhouse that it sells for $30 each. Its variable cost is $15 per house, and its fixed costs total $13,840 per year. Hawk currently has the capacity to produce up to 2,000 birdhouses per year, so its relevant range is 0 to 2,000 houses.
Required:
1. Prepare a contribution margin income statement for Hawk assuming it sells 1,100 birdhouses this year.
2. Without any calculations, determine Hawk’s total contribution margin if the company breaks even.
3. Calculate Hawk’s contribution margin per unit and its contribution margin ratio.
4. Calculate Hawk’s break-even point in number of units and in sales revenue.
5. Suppose Hawk wants to earn $20,000 this year. Determine how many birdhouses it must sell to generate this amount of profit. Is this possible?
6. Prepare a CVP graph for Hawk including lines for both total cost and sales revenue. Clearly identify fixed cost and the break-even point on your graph.
