CHAPTER 7- Break-Even Point(must equal to ZERO)- Cost Volume Profit Analysis
University Pizza delivers pizzas to the dormitories and apartments near a major state university. The company’s annual fixed expenses are $54,000. The sales price of a pizza is $10, and it costs the company $6 to make and deliver each pizza. (ignore income tax).
1. Using the contribution-margin approach, complete the company’s break-even point in units (pizzas). Using the contribution approach.
Sales Price- Variable expenses= $10 - $6= $4
Fixed Expenses / Unit Contribution= 54,000 = 13,500 (Revenue break-even)
$4
2. What is the contribution-margin ratio?
Sales price – variable expense= $10- $6= $4
Contribution margin per unit / variable expense= $4 = .4
$10
CM Ratio= 100% - 60%= 40%
3. Compute the break-even sales revenue. Use the contribution margin approach ratio in your calculation.
Fixed Expenses / CM Ratio = 54,000 =$135,000 (Sales Revenue)
.4
Or
Break-Even Point (x) Sales Price= 135,000 (x) $10= $135,000
Or
Sales Price – variable expenses= $10 - $6= .4
Sales Price $10
4. How many pizzas must the company sell to earn a target net profit of $60,000? Use the equation method.
Sales Price-x(-) Variable Expense-x (-) Fixed Expense= net profit
10X (-) 6X (-) 54,000=60,000
+54,000 +54,000
4X = 114,000 =
4 4 28,500 per pizza
