Adam's Sports Store has a contribution margin ratio of 55%. The break-even point has already been reached this year.

volume
 

 
Terry's Trees has reached its break-even point and has calculated its contribution margin ratio to be 70%.
Each $1 increase in sales will have which of the following effects?
net operating income will increase by $0.70
Total contribution margin will increase by $0.70
 

 
Adams, Inc. currently sells one of its products for $140 per unit. Variable costs are $75 per unit and total fixed costs are $5,000.
The company has been asked to provide 500 units to a charity at a reduced price.
The sale would not disrupt regular sales. If Adam's desired profit for this sale is $20 per unit,
the quoted price per unit will be $ 95; $75 variable cost + $20 profit. Fixed costs are not included because
they will not be impacted so the additional contribution margin
increases profits
 

 
When considering changes in costs and revenues, focusing only on the items that will change is called _______ ________
incremental analysis
 

 
For a single-product company, the margin of safety in _________ form is calculated by dividing the margin of
safety in dollars by the selling price per unit.
unit
 

 
Sniffles, Inc. produces facial tissues. The company's contribution margin ratio is 77%.
Fixed expenses are $2,404,000. To achieve a target profit of $9,300,000, Sniffles' sales must be:
$15,200,000

A company sold 750 units with a contribution margin of $120 per unit.
If the company has a break-even point of 450 units, what is net operating income?
$36,000

The contribution margin statement is primarily used for:
internal decision making
 

 
Cartoon Cakes has $401,000 of fixed costs per year. The contribution margin ratio is 59%.
