Given the following data, answer the questions below:

Fixed factory overhead per period $100,000
Administrative costs per period $50,000
Advertising costs per period $50,000
Questions
What is the contribution margin per ball?
What are the dollars of fixed costs for the period?
How many soccer balls must be sold to break even for the period?
How many soccer balls must be sold to attain $40,000 operating profit?
How may soccer balls must be sold to break even for the period if you drop your price to $8?
1) Contribution per ball = Selling price per ball less variable cost per ball
=10-(4+1)
=10-5
=5$
2)Fixed cost per period = Fixed factory overhead+Administrative costs+Advertising costs
=100000+50000+50000
=200000$
3) Break even in units = Fixed cost/CPU
=200000/5
=40,000 units
4) Units to be sold = Fixed cost+ desired profit/ CPU
=200000+40000/5
=240000/5
=48000 units
5) if price is droped to 8, new contribution = 8-5 = 3$
Break even point = fixed cost/CPU
=200000/3
=66,666.67 units
ie 66,667 units
