The condensed budgeted income statement for the Ruth and Edward partnership for 2022 is as follows: RUTH AND EDWARD LLP Income Statement Year Ending December 31, 2022 Sales (278,400 units) $1,392,000 Cost of goods sold 928,000 Gross profit 464,000 Operating expenses Selling $324,800 Administrative 174,000 498.800 Operating loss $(34,800) A cost behaviour analysis indicates that 75% of the cost of goods sold is variable, 42% of the selling expenses are variable, and 40% of the administrative expenses are variable. (Use the CVP income statement format in calculating operating income.) Calculate the break-even point in total sales dollars and in units for 2022. (Round contribution margin per unit to 2 decimal places, eg. 1.25, contribution margin ratio to 1 decimal place, eg. 15.2% and final answers to decimal places, e.g. 5,275.) Break-even point in sales $ 1.490,864 Break-even point in units 298,173 Question Part Score --16 Ruth has proposed a plan to get the partnership "out of the red" and improve its profitability. She feels that the quality of the product could be substantially improved by spending $0.30 more per unit on better raw materials. The selling price per unit could be increased to only $5.30 because of competitive pressures. Ruth estimates that sales volume will increase by 25%. Calculate the break-even point in total sales dollars and in units under the proposed plan.

He believes that the sales volume can be increased only by intensive advertising and promotional campaigns. He therefore proposed the following plan as an alternative to Ruth's: (1) increase variable selling expenses to $0.60 per unit, (2) lower the selling price per unit by $0.30, and (3) increase fixed selling expenses by $46,400. Edward quoted an old marketing research report that said that sales volume would increase by 60% if these changes were made. Calculate Edward's break-even point in dollars and units.
