Wildhorse Repairs has 200 auto-maintenance service outlets nationwide. It performs primarily two lines of service: oil changes
and brake repair. Oil change-related services represent 70% of its sales and provide a contribution margin ratio of 20%. Brake
repair represents 30% of its sales and provides a 40% contribution margin ratio. The company's fixed costs are $13,416,000 (that
is, $67,080 per service outlet). Sales mix is determined based upon total sales dollars.
(a)
Your answer is correct.
Calculate the dollar amount of each type of service that the company must provide in order to break even. (Use Weighted-
Average Contribution Margin Ratio rounded to 2 decimal places e.g. 0.25 and round final answers to 0 decimal
places, e.g. 2,510.)

c) Assuming sales of 5,000 units, prepare a contribution margin income statement for the year ended December 31, 2020, detailing the components of total variable costs and total fixed costs, and clearly showing contribution and net income.
d) Assuming sales of 5,000 units, calculate Buggs-Off break-even point and margin of safety in units andsales dollars.
APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Target income (sales revenue)
Another useful method for figuring out the type of performance your company will need to reach a target income is by using sales revenue. Rather than using the number of units, this method uses total sales revenue. In companies for which the
total set of goods produced and sold is more varied, this would be the preferred method, as opposed to a business in which only one product is sold. Assume a company has pricing and cost information as follows:
Price and Cost Information
Amount
Selling Price per Unit
$30
Variable Cost per Unit
$15
Total Fixed Cost
$15,000
For the upcoming period, the company wishes to generate operating income of $40,000. Given the cost and pricing structure for the company's product, how much sales revenue must it generate to attain its target income?
Step 1: Calculate the contribution margin ratio:
The contribution margin ratio is the contribution margin in proportion to the selling price on a per-unit basis.…
