Contribution Margin approach Problem Consider the following
Contribution Margin approach
Problem: Consider the following situation independently. Fill in the blanks with the appropriate information.
| number of units sold | total sales | number of units sold | variable cost per unit | contribution margin percentage | total fixed costs | net income | return on sales (NI/Sales) |
| $20.00 | 58% | $80,000 | 8% |
Solution
Total sales = 80000/8%= 1000000 Number of units sold =1000000/20= 50000 Variable cost per unit = 20*(1-0.58)= 8.4 Total fixed costs=(1000000*58%)-80000= 500000
