Enter the amount only. Do not enter letters, words, dollar signs or the calculation.
Which of the following statements is correct? When cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales increases, the gross profit margin will increase. If the gross profit margin increases from one year to the next, then the net profit margin will also increase from one year to the next. If the gross profit margin is the same for the current and past year, then sales and cost of goods sold in dollars did not change. It is possible that when cost of goods sold in dollars increases, cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales decreases.
Jackson Corporation has asked you to analyze their sales and cost data. They have provided you with the below dashboard: Determine the unit contribution margin and contribution margin ratio. Unit Contribution Margin = Contribution Margin ratio = Calculate the break-even point in units and sales dollars. Note: Round your answers to the nearest whole number. Break-Even Units = Break-Even Sales Dollars = Compute Jackson’s margin of safety in units and as a percentage of sales. Note: Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest whole number.
