Problem 3.1
1a
Volume Price Total cost
40.000 430,- 17.200.000
50.000 388,- 19.400.000
Difference 10.000 2.200.000
Variable cost 2.200.000/10.000= €220,-
Variable cost at 40.0000= 40.000*220= €8.800.000
Fixed cost at 40.000 = total cost – variable cost = €8.400.000
1b
Volume Price Total cost
Revenue at 65.000 65.000 420 65.000*420 = 27.300.000
Variable cost 220 65.000*220 = 14.300.000
Fixed cost 8.400.000
Profit €4.600.000
1c
Contribution = price – variable cost = 420 – 220 = 200
BEA at fixed cost / contribution = 8.400. = 42.000
1d
Current sales 65.000
BEA 42.000
Margin of safety (65.000-42.000)/65.000 = 35%
