Information concerning a product produced by Ender Company appears here: Sales price per unit $ 164 Variable cost per unit $ 94 Total annual fixed manufacturing and operating costs $ 434,000 Required Determine the following: Contribution margin per unit. Number of units that Ender must sell to break even. Sales level in units that Ender must reach to earn a profit of $182,000. Determine the margin of safety in units, sales dollars, and as a percentage.

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the unitary contribution margin, we need to use the following formula:

Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost

Contribution margin= 164 - 94

Contribution margin= $70

Now, to determine the break-even point in units and sales dollars, we need to use the following formulas:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 434,000 / 70

Break-even point in units= 6,200

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 434,000 / (70 / 164)

Break-even point (dollars)= $1,016,800

The desired profit is $182,000:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (434,000 + 182,000) / 70

Break-even point in units= 8,800

Finally, the margin of safety in units, sales dollars, and as a percentage:

Margin of safety (units)= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety (units)= 8,800 - 6,200

Margin of safety (units)= 2,600

Margin of safety (dollars)= (8,800*164) - 1,016,800

Margin of safety (dollars)= $426,400

Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level

Margin of safety ratio= 426,400 / 1,443,200

Margin of safety ratio= 0.295

Stock Options
On December 30, 2014, Yang Corporation granted compensatory stock options for 5,000 shares of its $1 par value common stock to certain of its key employees.

Manson Industries incurs unit costs of $6 ($4 variable and $2 fixed) in making an assembly part for its finished product. A supplier offers to make 15,000 of the assembly part at $5 per unit. If the offer is accepted, Manson will save all variable costs but no fixed costs. Prepare an analysis showing the total cost saving, if any, Manson will realize by buying the part.
