Compute the contribution margin ratio for the mailboxes how


CONTRIBUTION MARGIN RATIO, BREAK-EVEN SALES, OPERATING  LEVERAGE

Doerhing Company produces plastic mailboxes. The projected income statement for the coming year follows:

Sales

$560,400

Less: Variable costs

  257,784

Contribution margin

$302,616

Less: Fixed costs

  150,000

Operating income

$152,616

Required:

1. Compute the contribution margin ratio for the mailboxes.

2. How much revenue must Doerhing earn in order to break even?

3. What is the effect on the contribution margin ratio if the unit selling price and unit variable cost each increase by 10 percent?

4. Suppose that management has decided to give a 3 percent commission on all sales. The projected income statement does not reflect this commission. Recompute the contribution margin ratio, assuming that the commission will be paid. What effect does this have on the break-even point?

5. If the commission is paid as described in Requirement 4, management expects sales revenues to increase by $80,000. How will this affect operating leverage? Is it a sound decision to implement the commission? Support your answer with appropriate computations.
