CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA LIMESTONE COMPANY Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31, 20x4 Sales $1,800,000 Variable costs: 630,000 Manufacturing Selling costs 360,000 $ 990,000 $ 810,000 Total variable costs Contribution margin Fixed costs Manufacturing Selling Administrative $200,000 215,000 80,000 Total fixed costs 495,000 Net income 315,000
Solution
Part 1
Selling price per unit = total sales / units sold = 1800000/1800 =1000
Variable cost per unit = total variable costs / units sold = 990000/18000 =550
Breakeven volume = total fixed costs / contribution margin Per unit
Contribution margin Per unit = selling price per unit - variable cost per unit =1000-550 =450
Breakeven volume = 495000/450 = 1100 tons
Breakeven volume = 1100 tons
Part 2
Projected net income = 450000
| Sales (2100*1000) | 2100000 |
| Less: total variable costs (2100*550) | 1155000 |
| Contribution margin | 945000 |
| Less: total fixed costs | 495000 |
| Net income | 450000 |
