46. Blue Co. had the following income statement in February:
Unit Price Percentage
Sales $150,000 $20 100%
Variable Costs 90,000 12 60%
Contribution Margin 60,000 8 40%
Fixed Costs 80,000
Loss ($20,000)
The firm’s contribution margin ratio at its current selling price of $20 per unit is 40%.
# units = 150,000 / 20 = 7500
Variable cost % = Sales % - CM% = 100% - 40% = 60%
Variable cost = VC% x Sales Dollars = 60% x 150,000 = 90,000
Fixed costs = Total Costs – Variable Costs = 170,000 – 90,000 = 80,000
