(b) Variable costs = 48% of sales ($1,200,000 ÷ $2,500,000) or $.24 per
bottle ($.50 X 48%). Total fixed costs = $780,000.
(c) Contribution margin ratio = ($.50 – $.24) ÷ $.50
= 52%
(d) Required sales
PROBLEM 22-3B
(a) Sales were $1,800,000 and variable expenses were $1,170,000, which
means contribution margin was $630,000 and CM ratio was 35%. Fixed
expenses were $840,000. Therefore, the breakeven point in dollars is:
(b) 1. The effect of this alternative is to increase the selling price per unit
to $37.50 ($30 X 125%). Total sales become $2,250,000 (60,000 X
$37.50). Thus, the contribution margin ratio changes to 48%
[($2,250,000 – $1,170,000) ÷ $2,250,000]. The new breakeven point is:
2. The effects of this alternative are to change total fixed costs to
$660,000 ($840,000 – $180,000) and to change the contribution margin
to .30 [($1,800,000 – $1,170,000 – $90,000) ÷ $1,800,000]. The new
breakeven point is:
3. The effects of this alternative are: (1) variable and fixed cost of
goods sold become $675,000 each, (2) total variable costs become
$915,000 ($675,000 + $125,000 + $115,000), and (3) total fixed costs
are $1,095,000 ($675,000 + $355,000 + $65,000). The new breakeven
point is:
PROBLEM 22-4B
(a) Current break-even point: $30X = $12X + $216,000
(where X = pairs of shoes)
(b) Current margin of safety ratio =
(20,000 X $30) – (12,000 X $30)
(20,000 X $30)
= 40%
(c) COSTLESS SHOE STORE

(3) Break-even point in dollars = $754,000 ÷ .32 = $2,356,250
Fixed costs
The break-even point in dollars declined from $2,700,000 to $2,356,250.
This means that overall the company’s risk has declined because it
doesn’t have to generate as much in sales. The two changes actually
