Contribution Margin, Break-Even Sales, Cost-Volume-Profit Chart, Margin of Safety, and Operating Leverage

Belmain Co. expects to maintain the same inventories at the end of 20Y7 as at the beginning of the year. The total of all production costs for the year is therefore assumed to be equal to the cost of goods sold. With this in mind, the various department heads were asked to submit estimates of the costs for their departments during the year. A summary report of these estimates is as follows:

		Estimated Fixed Cost			Estimated Variable Cost (per unit sold)
Production costs:
	Direct materials				$17
	Direct labor				12
	Factory overhead	$195,000			9
Selling expenses:
	Sales salaries and commissions	40,500			4
	Advertising	13,700
	Travel	3,000
	Miscellaneous selling expense	3,400			3
Administrative expenses:
	Office and officers' salaries	39,600
	Supplies	4,900			1
	Miscellaneous administrative expense	4,540			2
	Total	$304,640			$48

It is expected that 6,120 units will be sold at a price of $160 a unit. Maximum sales within the relevant range are 8,000 units.
