Cost volume profit analysis problem

[Qonzo]

Hey guys, Woo here.

For a while now, I have been stuck on this particular question and I don't know how to start it let alone find the solution to each question. I was just wondering if someone can guide me to the right way to finding each answer to each question.
Rather than posting my whole assignment I will put down just one question in hopes that the formulas will be helpful.


Sales revenue $710,000
Variable costs ?
Fixed costs ?
Operating income $13,800
Units sold 190,000
Contribution margin per unit $1.42
Contribution margin ratio ?


Thanks again for help guys,
Woo

• From Sales Revenue and Units Sold you can derive the selling price per unit ("SPPU").

• From SPPU and Contribution Margin Per Unit ("CMPU") you can derive Variable Cost Per Unit ("VCPU").

• From SPPU and CMPU comes the Contribution Margin Ratio.

• From VCPU and Units Sold you get Variable Costs.

• Then finally from Sales, Variable Costs, and Operating Income you get Fixed Costs.

Whip out the ol' calculator and give it a go.

Thank you so much! It helps alot haha. I was stuck on how to find variable cost for 3hrs at one point! Thanks again ))

Just another bit that I'm confused with is finding the sales re
venue in this part.
Sales revenue ?
Variable costs 150000
Fixed costs 121000
Operating income ?
Units sold 10000
Contribution (CMpu) ?
Contribution margin ratio 0.20

 

[ArcSine]

If SR, TVC, and CM denote, respectively, Sales Revenue, Total Variable Costs, and Contribution Margin Ratio, then

CM = (SR - TVC) / SR

Given any two of the three you can solve for the third.

 

[Qonzo]

So correct me if this wrong.

SR=150,000/.8
SR=187,500

then,

CM=(187,500-150,000)/187,500
=0.20

 

[ArcSine]

Correct. Nice touch verifying your answer by checking it in the CM formula, by the way. Always do that whenever feasible.

 

[Qonzo]

ha-ha thanks for that. The only final thing I don't understand now is.

How do you work out the units sold?

Sales revenue $600,000
Variable Costs 288,000
Fixed Costs 139,000
Operating Income 173,000
Units Sold ?
CPpu $97.50
CM 0.52?

 

[Qonzo]

Also since you helped me this far would it be possible for you to look over my questions that I did so far? Just to see if I'm doing it correctly.

I'm not sure what the "CPpu" refers to exactly, but it appears to be something expressed on a per-unit basis. If so, you can find the number of units using this per-unit value, along with some other info from the furnished data.

For example, if the $97.50 represents the unit contribution amount (unit sales price less the unit variable cost) you could derive the total units sold from the $97.50 along with the total sales revenue and total variable cost numbers.

And yeah, if you wanna put your answers up in a post, I'm sure somebody will be happy to give 'em a once-over. In a forum, of course, it all depends on who happens to be visiting at the moment.

Have a good weekend, amigo.
