Lorge Corporation has collected the following information after its first year of sales. Sales were $2,500,000 on 100,000 units; selling expenses $250,000 (40% variable and 60% fixed); direct materials $1,351,000; direct labor $250,000; administrative expenses $270,000 (20% variable and 80% fixed); and manufacturing overhead $350,000 (70% variable and 30% fixed). Top management has asked you to do a CVP analysis so that it can make plans for the coming year. It has projected that unit sales will increase by 10% next year. a. Compute:
(1) the contribution margin for the current year and the projected year, and
(2) the fixed costs for the current year. (Assume that fixed costs will remain the same in the projected year.)
b. Compute the break-even point in units and sales dollars for the first year. (Round contribution margin ratio to 2 decimal places e. g. 0.15 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e. g. 2,510.)
