Sales Variable expenses Contribution margin Fixed expenses Net Operating Income

If a company has sales of $100,000 a contribution margin of $40,000, and fixed expenses of $50,000 the company has a:

$10,000 net operating loss

The break-even point is the level of sales at which the profit equals

0

Which tool can be used to easily calculate the change in profit resulting from a change in sales price, sales volume, variable costs, or fixed costs?

CVP analysis

To simplify CVP calculations, which of the following is assumed to remain constant?

selling price

The contribution margin income statement allows users to easily judge the impact of a change in ______ on profit.

selling price cost volume

Pete's Putters sells each putter for $125. The variable cost is $60 per putter and fixed costs total $400,000. Based on this information:

the sale of 12,000 putters results in net operating income of $380,000 the contribution margin per putter is $65.

At the break-even point:

total revenue equals total cost. net operating income is zero.

When a company only produces a single product, the total variable cost can be calculated with the equation:

variable cost per unit multiplied by quantity of units sold

Company A sells its product for $10 per unit. If Company A has variable expenses of $5 per unit and fixed expenses of $200,000, the break-even point in units and dollars is:

40,000 units and $400,000

Shonda's Shoes sell for $95 per pair. If Shonda must sell a total of 284 pairs of shoes to break-even, and a total of 450 pairs to achieve her target profit, sales dollars needed to earn the target profit equals:

Elle's Elephant Shop sells giant stuffed elephants for $55 each. Each elephant has variable costs of $10 and total fixed costs are $700. If Ellie sells 35 elephants this month:

profits = $875 total variable costs = $350 total sales = $1,925

The variable expense ratio is the ratio of variable expense to:

sales

The break-even point is reached when the contribution margin is equal to:

total fixed expenses

Company A's product sells for $90 and has a variable cost of $35 per unit. Fixed costs total $550,000. If Company A sells 16,000 units, the contribution margin per unit is:

$55

Company A has fixed costs of $564,000 and a contribution margin of 62%. Sales dollars to break-even rounded to the nearest whole dollar equals:

$564,000/0.62 = $909,677

Given a sales price of $100, variable costs of $70 and a break-even point of 500 units, net operating profit for sale of 501 units will be $

30
