Margin of Safety (Single Product). Mammoth Company has monthly fixed costs totaling $200,000 and variable costs of $40 per unit. Each unit of product is sold for $50 (these data are the same as the previous exercise). Assume Mammoth Company expects to sell 24,000 units of product this coming month.
- a.) Find the margin of safety in units.
- b.) Find the margin of safety in sales dollars.
- CVP Sensitivity Analysis (Single Product). Xavier Company has monthly fixed costs totaling $200,000 and variable costs of $40 per unit. Each unit of product is sold for $50. Xavier expects to sell 30,000 units each month (this is the base case). For each of the independent situations in requirements b through d, assume that the number of units sold remains at 30,000.
- a.) Prepare a contribution margin income statement for the base case.
- b.) Refer to the base case. What would the operating profit be if the unit sales price decreases 10 percent?
- c.) Refer to the base case. What would the operating profit be if the unit variable cost increases 5 percent?
- d.) Refer to the base case. What would the operating profit be if total fixed costs decrease 20 percent?
