Contribution Margin, Break-Even Sales, Cost-Volume-Profit Chart, Margin of Safety, and Operating Leverage Belmain Co. expects to maintain the same inventories at the end of 20Y7 as at the beginning of the year. The total of all production costs for the year is therefore assumed to be equal to the cost of goods sold.

Blue Spruce Inc. manufactures basketballs for professional basketball associations. For the first six months of 2022, the company reported the following operating results while operating at 90% of plant capacity: Sales Cost of goods sold Selling and administrative expenses Net income Amount $5,049,000 3,465.000 445,500 $1.138,500 Per Unit $51.00 35.00 4.50 $11.50 Fixed costs for the period were cost of goods sold of $990,000, and selling and administrative expenses of $178.200. In July, normally a slack manufacturing month, Blue Spruce receives a special order for 9.900 basketballs at $32,00 each from the Italian Basketball Association. Accepting the order would increase variable selling and administrative expenses by $0.75 per unit because of shipping costs, but it would not increase fixed costs and expenses.
