    hello,
    i have two question regarding to CVP Analysis from MA2;

    -1st Question;
    A company has calculated its margin of safety as 20% on budgeted sales and budgeted sales are 5,000 units per month. What would be the budgeted fixed costs if the budgeted contribution was $25 per unit?

    a)$100,000
    b)$125,000
    c)$150,000
    d)$160,000

    -2nd Question;
    Gray Ltd wish to sell 10,000 units of its Product which has a variable cost is $20. Fixed cost is $46,000 and the required profit is $24,000. Calculate the sales price per unit.

    My Solution;
    I tried to solved this question like this
    Sales =Total Cost + Proft

    Variable Cost = 10,000unitsx$20 = $200,000

    Sales = ($200,000+$46000)+$24000 = $270,000
    Sale price per unit = $270,000/10,000units = $27 (Ans)
    — — — —

    I need your kind help in solving both of these questions.

    Regards,

    Answer 1st Question:
    MOS = (Budgeted Sales – Break-even Sales)/Budgeted Sales
    20% = (5000 – Break-even Sales)/5000
    1000 = 5000 – Break-even Sales
    Break-even Sales = 4000
    BREAK-EVEN means Contribution Margin equals Fixed Costs.
    Budgeted Fixed Cost = Break-even Sales * Budgeted Contribution = 4000 * 25
    = 100,000 Answer. (a)

    Answer 2nd Question:
    Sales 270000 [missing figure]
    (VC) (200000) [20*10000]
    CM 70000 [missing figure]
    (FC) (46000) [Given in question]
    Profit 24000 [Given in question]
    Sale price = 270000/10000 = 27 is correct.

    280,000 x .12 x 0.05 = 1680

    (1.9 – 2.35) x 3000 = -1350

    Net effect = 330
