Current operating income for Bay Area Cycles Co. is $24,000. Selling price per unit is $100, the contribution margin ratio is 30%, and fixed expense is $96,000.
Required:
1. Calculate Bay Area Cycle’s break-even point in units and total sales dollars.
2. Calculate Bay Area Cycle’s margin of safety and margin of safety ratio.
contribution margin=Sales price-Variable cost
contribution margin ratio=contribution margin/Sales price
1.contribution margin=(0.3*100)=$30
Hence breakeven point=Fixed cost/contribution margin
=(96000/30)=3200 units
=(3200*100)=$320,000
2.
Contribution margin-Fixed cost=Current net operating income
Hence current contribution margin=(24000+96000)=$120,000
Hence current total
sales=(120,000/0.3)=$400,000
Hence margin of safety =Total sales-Breakeven sales
=(400,000-320,000)=$80,000
=(80000/100)=800 units
margin of safety ratio=margin of safety /Total sales
=(80,000/400,000)=20%
