Jellico Inc.’s projected operating income (based on sales of 450,000 units) for the coming year is as follows:Required:1. Compute: (a) variable cost per unit, (b) contribution margin per unit, (c)contribution margin ratio, (d) break-even point in units, and (e) break-even point in sales dollars.2. How many units must be sold to earn operating income of $296,400?3. Compute the additional operating income that Jellico would earn if sales were $50,000 more than expected.4. For the projected level of sales, compute the margin of safety in units, and then in sales dollars.5. Compute the degree of operating leverage. (Note: Round answer to two decimal places.)6. Compute the new operating income if sales are 10% higher than expected.
Sooner Industries charges a price of $88 and has fixed cost of $301,000. Next year, Sooner expects to sell 15,600 units and make operating income of $172,000. What is the variable cost per unit? What is the contribution margin ratio? Note: Round your variable cost per unit answer to the nearest cent. Enter the contribution margin ratio as a percentage, rounded to two decimal places.
