uppose McKnight Corp.'s breakeven point is revenues of $ 1 comma 100 comma 000. Fixed costs are $ 660 comma 000. Requirements 1. Compute the contribution margin percentage. 2. Compute the selling price if variable costs are $16 per unit. 3. Suppose 65 comma 000 units are sold. Compute the margin of safety in units and dollars. 4. What does this tell you about the risk of McKnight making a loss? What are the most likely reasons for this risk to increase?

1. Compute the contribution margin percentage.

2. Compute the selling price if variable costs are $16 per unit.

3. Suppose 65 comma 000 units are sold. Compute the margin of safety in units and dollars.

4. What does this tell you about the risk of McKnight making a loss? What are the most likely reasons for this risk to increase?

Explanation:

break even point is $ = $1,100,000 (= break even point units x selling price)

fixed costs = $660,000

contribution margin % = (total sales - total variable costs) / total sales

total variable costs = $1,100,000 - $660,000 = $440,000

contribution margin % =  ($1,100,000 - $660,000) / $1,100,000 = 40%

variable costs = $16 per unit

0.4 = (x - $16) / x

0.4x = x - $16

$16 = 0.6x

x = $26.67

65,000 x $26.67 = $1,733,550

margin of safety in $ = $1,733,550 - $1,100,000 = $633,550

margin of safety in % = $633,550 / $1,733,550 = 36.55%

it is a i took the test.

consumer credit. an advantage is that it allows consumers to afford expensive goods and services now, increasing their standard of living. however, a disadvantage is that it creates a trap for debt, if people do not have self control, they may see themselves filing personal bankruptcy.
