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
