1)Selling price per unit = 5TL

Total fixed cost = 900,000 TL

Contribution margin ratio = 60%

Target income = 120,000 TL

Sales revenue to earn target profit = (Total fixed cost + Target profit)/Contribution margin ratio

= (900,000 + 120,000)/60%

= 1,020,000/60%

= 1,700,000 TL

Hence, revenue to be earn target profit of 120,000 TL = 1,700,000 TL

2)

Given

Option I Option II
USR - 18 TL USR - 18TL
UVC - 16TL UVC - 14TL
TFC - 2,000,000 TFC - 6,000,000

Required Indifference between two alternatives and better option

Indifference point = Difference in Fixed cost / Difference in Variable cost per unit

= (6,000,000 - 2,000,000) / (16-14)

= 2,000,000 units

\therefore Company A is indifferent when sales volume is 2,000,000 units.

When sales volume is less than indifference Point (i.e less than 2,000,000 units ) then Option I is best.

(reason being - Option I is having lower fixed cost and higher variable cost).

When sales volume is more than indifference point (i.e more than 2,000,000 units) then option II is best.

(reason being - Option II is having higher fixed cost and lower varible cost)
