ABC company's breakeven point was $780,000. Variable expenses averaged 60% of sales, and the margin of safety was $130,000. What was ABC's contribution margin?
The margin of safety is the excess of sales over break-even sales. Assuming variable costs are 60% of selling price, contribution margin may be computed at 40% of selling price as 40% * $780,000 + 40% * $130,000.
Compare your answer with the correct one above
A company has total sales of $80,000, total variable costs of $20,000, and total fixed costs of $30,000. What is the breakeven level in sales dollars?
The contribution margin is sales minus variable costs (80,000-20,000) = 60,000. Then, 60,000/80,000=75%. Then, breakeven is total fixed costs of $30,000/75%=$40,000.
