Expert Solution

Solution-

Bars sold = 156,000

Unit Price = $ 1.85

Total Sales (in$) = $288,600

(1) Breakeven sales (in dollars) =

Margin of safety =[Current sales-Breakeven point] / Current Sales

(given)                15% =[$288,600-Breakeven Point]/$288,60

         $ 288,600 X 15% =[$288,600-Breakeven Point]

   $ 43,290 =[$288,600-Breakeven Point]

        Breakeven Point = $245,310

(2) Contribution Margin

   = Sales x Contribution margin (given)

=$288,600 x 35 %

   = $101,010

(3) Variable Cost

    = Sales-contibution

   =$288,600-$101,010

= $ 187,590

(4) Fixed Cost

    = Breakeven sales x Contribution margin

   = $245,310 X 35%

= $85,858.50
