The total number of budgeted units reflected in the master budget for September was?
Actual | Flexible budget | Master | ||||||
Units | 40000 | 40000 | 50000 | Units | ||||
Sales | 240000 | 60000 | U | 300000 | 75000 | U | 375000 | |
Variable cost | 200000 | 8000 | U | 192000 | 48000 | F | 240000 | |
Contribution margin | 40000 | 68000 | U | 108000 | 27000 | U | 135000 | |
Fixed cost | 25000 | 5000 | F | 30000 | 0 | 30000 | ||
Net income | 15000 | 63000 | U | 78000 | 27000 | U | 105000 | |
So total sales revenue = 135000*300000/108000 = 375000
Sales price per unit = 300000/40000= 7.5
As per master budget sales units = 375000/7.5 = 50000 units
