3. The major factor would be the sensitivity of the company’s operations to
cyclical movements in the economy. Because the new equipment will
increase the CM ratio, in years of strong economic activity, the company
Problem 3-27 (30 minutes)

(2)

or some other measure of activity.
(3)
Total expense line.
(4)
Variable expense area.
(5)

(9)
Revenue line.
Problem 3-28 (60 minutes)
1.
Profit
= Unit CM × Q − Fixed expenses
$0
= ($2.00 − $0.80) × Q − $60,000
$0
= ($1.20) × Q − $60,000
$1.20Q
= $60,000
Q
= $60,000 ÷ $1.20 per pair
Q
= 50,000 pairs
50,000 pairs × $2 per pair = $100,000 in sales.
Alternative solution:
Fixed expenses $60,000
Unit sales = = =50,000 pairs
to break even CM per unit $1.20 per pair
Fixed expenses $60,000
Dollar sales = = =$100,000 in sales
to break even CM ratio 0.60
2. See the graph on the following page.
3.
Profit
= Unit CM × Q − Fixed expenses
$9,000
= $1.20 × Q − $60,000
$1.20Q
= $9,000 + $60,000
Q
= $69,000 ÷ $1.20 per pair
Q
= 57,500 pairs
Alternative solution:
Target profit + Fixed expenses
Unit sales to attain =
target profit CM per unit
$9,000 + $60,000
= 57,500 pairs
