Breakeven point is the point where total revenues are equal to total costs. Total cost includes fixed costs as well as variable costs. It is calculated as follows-

  Breakeven point in sales dollars = Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio

Requirement 1-:

To compute:

Break even points in sales dollars.

Answer to Problem 4BPSB

  Breakeven point in sales dollars =  Fixed costs Contribution margin ratio  Breakeven point in sales dollars = $200,000 20%  Breakeven point in sales dollars =$1,000,000

Explanation of Solution

Given,

  • Fixed costs = $200,000
  • Sales = $750,000
  • Contribution margin = $150,000
  • First we need to find contribution margin ratio-

      Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / SalesContribution margin ratio = $150,000 / $750,000Contribution margin ratio = 20%

Breakeven point is calculated as follows-

  Breakeven point in sales dollars =  Fixed costs Contribution margin ratio  Breakeven point in sales dollars = $200,000 20%  Breakeven point in sales dollars =$1,000,000

Conclusion:

Thus, breakeven point in sales dollars is calculated.

Answer to Problem 4BPSB

  Breakeven point in sales dollars =  Fixed costs Contribution margin ratio  Breakeven point in sales dollars = $350,000 60%  Breakeven point in sales dollars =$583,333

Explanation of Solution

  Revised fixed costs = $200,000 + $150,000Revised fixed costs = $350,000

First we need to find revised variable costs-

  Revised variable costs = Variable costs  50% * Variable costsRevised variable costs = $600,000  ( 50% * $600,000)Revised variable costs = $600,000  $300,000Revised variable costs =$300,000

Then, we need to find revised contribution margin-

  Revised contribution margin = Sales  Revised variable costsRevised contribution margin = $750,000  $300,000Revised contribution margin = $450,000

Contribution margin ratio is calculated as follows-

  Contribution margin ratio = Revised contribution margin / SalesContribution margin ratio = $450,000 / $750,000Contribution margin ratio = 60%

Explanation of Solution

  • Breakeven point in sales dollars-

  • Given, Pretax income = $200,000

    First we need to find revised fixed costs-

      Revised fixed costs = $200,000 + $150,000Revised fixed costs = $350,000

Then, we need to find revised variable costs

  Revised variable costs = Variable costs  50% * Variable costsRevised variable costs = $600,000  ( 50% * $600,000)Revised variable costs = $600,000  $300,000Revised variable costs =$300,000

Then, we need to find revised contribution margin-

  Revised contribution margin = Sales  Revised variable costsRevised contribution margin = $750,000  $300,000Revised contribution margin = $450,000

Contribution margin ratio is calculated as follows-

  Contribution margin ratio = Revised contribution margin / SalesContribution margin ratio = $450,000 / $750,000Contribution margin ratio = 60%

Breakeven point in sales dollars is calculated as under-

  Break even points in sales dollars = ( Fixed costs + Pretax income)/ Contribution margin ratioBreak even points in sales dollars = ( $350,000+$200,000) / 60%Break even points in sales dollars = $550,000/60%Break even points in sales dollars = $916,667

  • Breakeven point in sales units-

  • Given, Pretax income = $200,000

      Revised fixed costs = $200,000 + $150,000Revised fixed costs = $350,000

Contribution margin per unit is calculated as under-

  Contribution margin per unit = Total contribution margin / Sales unitsContribution margin per unit = $450,000 / 20,000Contribution margin per unit = $22.5

Breakeven point in sales units is calculated as follows-

  Break even points in sales units = ( Fixed costs + Pretax income)/ Contribution margin Break even points in sales units = ( $350,000+$200,000) / $22.5Break even points in sales units = $550,000/$22.5Break even points in sales units = 24,445units

Conclusion:

Thus, breakeven point in sales units and sales dollars is calculated.
