Required:
a. What number must Warner sell per month to break even?
b. What number must Warner sell per month to make an operating profit of $34,000 and $8,400. Assume that the company plans to sell 9,000 units per month. Consider requirements (b), (c), and (d) independently of each other.

b. 8,400 units and 5,840 units

c. $40,000

d. decrease of operating profit by 22.50 % and increase of operating profit by 45.00%

Explanation:

Breakeven point is level at which a firm makes neither profit nor loss

Break even units = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

Break even units = 5,000 units

Units to achieve target profit = Target Profit + Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

Units to achieve profit of $34,000 = 8,400 units

Units to achieve profit of $8,400 = 5,840 units

Operating Profit = Contribution - Fixed Costs

                           = $40,000

The effect on change of operating profit  can be best shown by calculation of the Degree of Operating Leverage (DOL)

DOL = Contribution ÷ Profit

        = 2.25

Sales decreases of 10 percent = decrease of operating profit by 22.50 % (10 % × 2.25)

Sales Increases of 20 percent = increase of operating profit by 45.00%  (20%× 2.25)
