Exercise 22-7 In the month of March, Style Salon services 560 clients at an average price of $120. During the month, fixed costs were $21,024 and variable costs were 60% of sales. Determine the contribution margin in dollars, per unit, and as a ratio. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 1,225.) Contribution margin $ Contribution margin per unit $ Contribution margin ratio % LINK TO TEXT LINK TO TEXT Using the contribution margin technique, compute the break-even point in dollars and in units. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 1,225.) Break-even sales $ Break-even sales units
Sales (560*$120) | $ 67,200 |
Less: variable cost ($67,200*60%) | $ 40,320 |
Contribution margin in dollars | $ 26,880 |
Contribution margin per unit ($26,880/560) | $ 48 |
Contribution margin ratio ($26,880/$67,200) | 40% |
Break even point in units = Total Fixed Expenses / Contribution margin |
Break even point in units = $21,024 / $48 |
Break even point in units = 438 Units |
Break even point in dollars = Total Fixed Expenses / Contribution margin ratio |
Break even point in dollars = $21,024/40% |
Break even point in dollars = $52,560 |
