Answer to Problem 21E

The contribution margin ratio is 40%.

Explanation of Solution

Contribution Margin Income Statement:

Particulars Amount
Revenue $400,000

Concept introduction:

Breakeven Point:

The level of sales where the company is neither on profit nor loss is termed as breakeven point. In other words, that level of sales at which the fixed cost of the business is recovered.

Answer to Problem 21E

The breakeven point is $120,000.

Explanation of Solution

Particulars Amount
Revenue $400,000
Total variable cost ($240,000×80%) ($192,000)
Total Contribution Margin $208,000

The contribution margin ratio is 52%.

The break-even point in units is calculated as:

Breakeven Point=Fixed CostContribution Margin Ratio=$62,40052%=$120,000

Answer to Problem 21E

The target sale point is $293,077.

Explanation of Solution

Contribution Margin Income Statement:

Particulars Amount
Revenue $400,000
Total variable cost ($240,000×80%) ($192,000)

The contribution margin ratio is 52%.

The total sales for achieving the target profit are calculated as:

Target Sales=Fixed Cost+Target ProfitContribution Margin Ratio=$62,400+$90,00052%=$293,077

Answer to Problem 21E

The sale revenue from each product is divided as per their percentage ratio product mix which amounts to $293,077. The share of sale of each product i.e. Thermos A, Thermos B, and Thermos C will be $102,577, $131,855, and $58,615 respectively.

Explanation of Solution

The total sales for achieving the target profit are calculated as:

Target Sales=Fixed Cost+Target ProfitContribution Margin Ratio=$62,400+$90,00052%=$293,077

The share of sales of Thermos A will be $102,577($293,077×35%).

The share of sales of Thermos B will be $131,885($293,077×45%).

The share of sales of Thermos C will be $58,615($293,077×20%).

Compute the additional profit that the company would earn if sales were P25,000 more than expected. B) KTA sells a special type of health food at a price of P16 per pound. Last year, it purchases this food from its supplier at a cost of P12 per pound. The supplier informed KTA that its cost increases and that this product will now be priced at P14 a pound. Over the years, KTA established a steady market and intends to pass the cost increase along to its customers and also add a P1 per unit to the price for additional profit. Fixed cost for the year are not expected to change and will remain at P34,000. Income tax rate is 32%. The net income after tax last year was P24,000. 2. If KTA can…
