Answer and Explanation:

1. The computation of the number of cartons is shown below:-

Operating income = Sales - Variable expenses - Fixed expense

The break-even sales = Fixed expenses ÷ (Selling price - Variable cost)

= $1,095,000 ÷ (12 - 4)

= $136,875

2. The computation of the dollar amount of monthly sales is shown below:-

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales

= $8 ÷ 12

= 66.6666%

Target sales in dollars = (Fixed expenses + Operating income) ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= ($1,095,000 + $312,000) ÷ 66.6666%

= $2,110,500

3. The preparation of the company's contribution margin income statement for June is shown below:-

Particulars Amount

Sales (455,000 × $12) $5,460,000

Less: Variable cost of goods sold

(4 × 71% × 455,000) -$,1292,200

Gross contribution margin $4,167,800

Less: Variable operating expenses -$527,800

(4 × 29% × 455,000)

Net contribution margin $3,640,000

Less: Fixed expenses -$1,095,000

Net operating income $2,545,000

4. The computation of June's margin of safety and operating leverage factor is shown below:-

Margin of safety (in dollars) = Total sales - Break-even sales

= $5,460,000 - ($12 × 136,875)

= $3,817,500

Operating leverage factor = Contribution margin ÷ Net operating income

= $3,640,000 ÷ $2,545,000

= 1.430

4. The computation of percentage will operating income is shown below:-

If volume rises by 11%, then operating income increase by

= 11% × 1.430

= 15.73%

Particulars Amount

Original volume of cartons $455,000

Add: Increase in volume $50,050 ($455,000 × 11%)

New volume of cartons $505,050

Unit contribution margin $8

New total contribution margin $4,040,400

($505,050 × $8)

Less: Fixed expense ($1,095,000)

New operating income $2,945,400

Operating income before

change in volume $2,545,000
