What is the division contribution margin ratio?
What is the quarterly budgeted break-even point in units?
What is the margin of safety in units for the quarter?
What is operating leverage for the quarter?
If the division wants to earn income before interest and taxes of $350,000 for the quarter, how many units must it sell?
ANSWER to Part II
Requirement 2
a. Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales = $420000 / $1190000 = 35.29% = 35%
b. Budgeted break-even point in units = Total fixed costs / Contribution per unit = $169200 / $3 = 56400 units
Contribution per unit = $420000 / 140000 units = $3
c. Margin of safety in units = Actual sales - Break-even sales = 140000 - 56400 = 83600 units
d. Operating leverage = Contribution margin / Net operating income = $420000 / $250800 = 1.67 = 167%
e. Number of units to sell for target operating income = (Total fixed costs + Target operating income)/Contribution per unit = ($169200 + $350000) / $3 = 173066.67 = 173067 units
