Risky Investor Group is opening an office in Portland, Oregon. Fixed monthly costs are office rent (58,000), depreciation on office furniture (51,600), utilities ($2,400), special telephone lines ($1,200), a connection with an online brokerage service ($2,600), and the salary of a financial planner ($5,200). Variable costs include payments to the financial planner (9% of revenue), advertising (11% of revenue), supplies and postage (4% of revenue), and usage fees for the telephone lines and computerized brokerage service (6% of revenue). Read the fequirements Requirement 1. Use the contribution margin ratio approach to compute Risky's breakeven revenue in dollars. If the average trade leads to $1,000 in revenue for Risky, how many trades must be made to break even? Begin by showing the formula and then entering the amounts to calculate the required sales dollars for Risky to break even. (Abbreviation used: CM = contribution margin.) ( = Required sales in dollars ( ) = % - Risky must make trades to break even monthly target profit of $12,600. Requirement 2. Use the equation approach to compute the dollar revenues needed to earn Begin by selecting the formula to compute the required sales in units to earn a target profit. Target profit Rearrange the formula you determined above and compute the required number of trades to earn a monthly target profit of $12,600. Risky must make trades to earn a monthly operating income of $12,600. Now compute the dollar revenues needed to earn a monthly target profit of $12,600. Risky needs in revenues to earn a monthly operating income of $12,600. (After you hit continue the screen may take you below the beginning of the next step. If so, scroll back up to the top of the step.) Requirement 3. Graph Risky's CVP relationships. Assume that an average trade leads to $1,000 in revenue for Risky. Show the breakeven point, the sales revenue line, the fixed cost line, the total cost line, the operating loss area, the operating income area, and the sales in units (trades) and dollars when monthly operating income of $12,600 is eamed. We will begin graphing the CVP relationships by first plotting the two points: breakeven point and the point where monthly operating income of $12,600 is earned.

Suppose that the average revenue Risky earns increases to $1,500 per trade. Compute the new breakeven point in trades. How does this affect the breakeven point? Under new assumptions, Risky must make trades to break even. With the increase in the average revenue per trade, the breakeven point in number of trades
