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.

CVP Analysis
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.
