19 comma 00019,000

monthly passengers.

Compute the number of dinner cruise tickets it must sell to break even.

a. Use the income statement equation approach.

b. Use the shortcut unit contribution margin? approach, perform a numerical proof to ensure that your answer is correct.

c. Use your answers from? (a) and? (b) to determine the sales revenue needed to break even.

d. Use the shortcut contribution margin ratio approach to verify the sales revenue needed to break even.

a. Compute the number of dinner cruise tickets it must sell to break even using the income statement equation approach.

Using the basic income statement equation you determined above solve for the number of tickets to break even.

? - ? - ? = operating income

Number of dinner cruise tickets needed to break even is

nothing.

b. Use the shortcut unit contribution margin? approach, perform a numerical proof to ensure that your answer is correct.

(? + ? ) / ? = break even units

Perform a numerical proof to ensure that your answer is correct.

c. your answers from? (a) and? (b) to determine the sales revenue needed to break even.

Sales revenue needed to break even is

?$nothing

d.

Use the shortcut contribution margin ratio approach to verify the sales revenue needed to break even.

(? + ?) / ? = break even sales

Answer 1

Ans a
Income statement Approach
Sales-Variable cost- fixed cost=Operatingf income
($50*U)-($20*U)-210000=0
210000/30U= U=	700
No. of dinner cruise ticket	700
ans b
Unit contribution margin method
Units sold=fixed expenses+Operating profit/CM per unit
210000+0/30	700
ans c
sales revenue needed	$350,000
700*$50
Ans d
Sales in $=fixed expenses+Operating profit/CM per unit
210000+0/.6	350000
CM ratio 30/50	0.6
