What can the weighted average contribution margin ratio be used for? To solve for a measure, at any level of sales volume, of the sensitivity of operating profit to changes in volume. Breakeven and profit planning for sales volume expressed in dollars (Y) rather than units (Q). To calculate an average per-unit contribution margin based on an assumed sales mix. To figure out the relative proportion in which a company’s products (or services) are sold. To determine the extent of fixed costs in an organization’s cost structure.
If an organization wants to make a profit, it must generate more sales revenue than the total costs it incurs. This relation can be expressed using which of the following profit equations? O a. Operating income = [(Sales price per unit - Variable cost per unit) x #units sold] - Fixed cost O b. Operating income = [Sales price per unit - Fixed cost per unit) x # units produced] -Variable cost Oc Operating income Sales revenue - Total variable costs - Discretionary costs O d. Operating income - Sales revenue - Committed costs - Fixed costs
For CVP analysis calculations, which of the following statements is correct? A. In target profit calculations, sales revenue is less than total costs. B. CVP analysis relies on our knowledge of cost function to express relationships among costs, sales volume, and profit. OC. A company's sales mix is ultimately determined by the management of a company. D. The Break-even point is the point at which operating income is greater than $0. O E. If sales volume is expected to be higher than the indifference point, management should choose the cost structure with the higher fixed costs.

Fill in the missing amounts in each of the eight case situations below. Each case is independent of the others. ( Hint: One way to find the missing amounts would be to prepare a contribution format income statement for each case, enter the known data, and then compute the missing items.)a.
