Explanation of Solution

Given,
Fixed cost is $250,000.

Calculated values,
Contribution margin ratio is 20% or 0.2 (from working note).

Formula to calculate break-even point of sales in dollars,

    Breakeven point= Fixedcost Contribution margin ratio

Substitute $250,000 for fixed cost and 0.2 for contribution margin ratio.

    Breakeven point= $250,000 0.2 =$1,250,000

Working note:

Given,
Sales are $1,000,000.
Contribution margin is $200,000.

Formula to calculate contribution margin ratio,

    Contribution margin ratio= Contributionmargin Sales ×100 = $200,000 $1,000,000 ×100 =20%

Hence, contribution margin ratio is 20%.

Hence, break-even point of sale is $1,250,000.

Explanation of Solution

Given,
Fixed cost is $450,000 ( $250,000+200,000 ) .
Units sold are 40,000 units.

Calculated values,
Contribution margin ratio is 60% or 0.6 (from working note).

Formula to calculate break-even point of sales in dollars,

    Breakeven point= Fixedcost Contribution margin ratio

Substitute $450,000 for fixed cost and 0.6 for contribution margin ratio.

    Breakeven point= $450,000 0.6 =$750,000

Working note:

Calculation of selling price per unit,

    Sellingpriceperunit= Sales Unitssold = $1,000,000 20,000 =$50

Calculation of sales in 2018,

    Sales=Sellingpriceperunits×Unitssold =$50×40,000units =$2,000,000

Calculation of variable cost per unit,

    Variablecostperunit= Variablecost Unitssold = $800,000 20,000 =$40

As new machine reduced variable cost up to 50%, so the new variable cost will be $20.

Calculation of variable cost in 2018,

    Variablecost=Variablecostperunits×Unitssold =$20×40,000units =$800,000units

Calculation of contribution margin,

    Contributionmargin=SalesVariablecosts =$2,000,000$800,000 =$1,200,000

Formula to calculate contribution margin ratio,

    Contribution margin ratio= Contributionmargin Sales ×100 = $1,200,000 $2,000,000 ×100 =60%

Hence, contribution margin ratio is 60%.

Hence, break-even point of sale is $750,000.

Statement to show the contribution margin income statement

Company A
Income Statement
For the Year Ended December 31, 2018
Particulars Amount ($)
Sales 1,000,000
Less: Variable Cost 400,000
Contribution Margin 600,000
Less: Fixed Cost 450,000
Pre Tax Income 150,000
Table(1)

Working note:

Given,
The numbers of units sold is 20,000.

Calculated values (working note),
The selling price is $50.
Variable cost per unit is $40.

Calculation of total sales,

    Totalsales=Numbersofunits×Salesprice =20,000units×$50 =$1,000,000

The total sales are $1,000,000.

Calculation of total variable cost,

    Totalvariable cost=Numbersofunits×Variablecost per unit =20,000units×$40 =$800,000

The total variable cost is $800,000. As new machine reduced variable cost up to 50%, so the new variable cost will be $400,000.

Hence, the pretax income of Company A is $150,000.

Explanation of Solution

Given,
Fixed cost is $450,000.
Target net income is $200,000.

Calculated,
Unit contribution margin is $30.

Formula to calculate required sales will be,

    Required sales= Fixed cost+Target net income Unitcontributionmargin

Substitute $450,000 for fixed cost, $200,000 for target net income and $30 for unit contribution margin.

    Required sales= $450,000+$200,000 $30 = $650,000 $30 =21,666.67units

Working note:

Given,
Per unit selling price is $50.
Per unit variable cost is $20.

Calculation of unit contribution margin,

    UnitContributionmargin=PerunitsellingpricePerunitvariablecost =$50$20 =$30

Calculation of required sales in dollars,

    Required sales=Required salesinunits×Sellingpriceperunit =21,667×$50 =$1,083,350

Hence, required sales are 21,667 units and $1,083,350.

The total sales are $1,083,333.5.

Calculation of total variable cost,

    Totalvariable cost=Numbersofunits×Variablecost per unit =21,666.67units×$20 =$433,333.4

Hence, the pretax income of Company A is $200,000.
