Break-even point in sales dollars: $223,600/.52= $430,000
Break-even point in unit sales: $223,600/ $130** = 1,720 units

**Weighted average CM per unit ($168x.5) + ($40x.25) + ($144x.25) = $130

As shown by these data, operating income is budgeted at $36,400 for the month, break-even sales dollars at $430,000, and break-even unit sales at 1,720.

Assume that actual sales for the month total $504,000 (2,100 units), with the CM ratio and per unit amounts the same as budgeted. Actual fixed expenses are the same as budgeted, $223,600. Actual sales by product are as follows: sinks, $126,000 (525 units); mirrors $210,000 (1,050 units); and vanities $168,000 (525 units).

Required:

1. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the month based on actual sales data. Present the income statement in the format shown above.

2. Compute the break-even point in sales dollars for the month, based on the actual data.

3. Calculate the break-even point in unit sales for the month, based on the actual data.

4. Considering the fact that the company exceeded its $500,000 sales budget for the month, the president is shocked at the results shown on your income statement in (1) above. Prepare a mini case report (including memo) for the president explaining why both the operating results and the break-even point in sales dollars are different from what was budgeted.
