Document Summary

These costs are linear throughout the relevant range of volume: revenues are linear throughout the relevant range of volume, implies a constant selling price per unit iv. Ex: nord corporation, a bicycle manufacturer, presents the following contribution margin format income statement for its most recent month. Use this information to calculate: the unit contribution margin and contribution margin ratio, the break-even point in units and in dollars, the number of units needed to be sold to earn a target profit of ,00. Sum of product a units + product b units: find be in sales revenue, contribution margin ratio approach, use when products are substantially different, based on current sales mix, bep in dollars = overall fc. Ex: bi-products sell two products with the following revenue, cost, and mix data: Case a: assume the products are similar; calculate the bep using the contribution.
