Number of unit sold annually .20,000 5,000

Fixed expense total $475,800 per year. The Republic of Palau uses the U.S. dollar as its currency.

Required
1. Assuming the sales mix given above, do the following:
a. Prepare a contribution format income statement showing both dollar and percent
columns for each product and for the company as a whole.
b. Compute the break-even point in dollar for the company as whole and the margin of
safety in both dollars and percent.

2. The company has developed a new product to called Samoan Delight. Assume that the
company could sell 10,000 units at $45 each. The variable expense would be $36 each. The
companys fixed expenses would not change.
a. Prepare another contributions format income statement, including sales of the
Samoan Delight (sales of the other two products would not change).
b. Compute the companys new break-even point in dollar and the new margin of
safety in both dollars and percent.

3. The president of the company examines your figures and says, Theres something
strange here. Our fixed costs havent changed and you show greater total contribution
margin if we add the new product, but you also show our break-even point going up. With
greater contribution margin, the break-even point should go down, not up. Youve made a
mistake somewhere. Explain to the president what has happened.
