a)Using excel software create the following table:
 
Rate NPRT PMT PV FV
10% 4 $ 35,000 ? blank or 0
 
Next, use the following excel format instructions. Type the following in an excel cell =PV(
Excel will immediately give you the remaining formula to key in ie PV(rate, nper, pmt, (FV),type)
 
Insert the appropriate values by manually typing the amounts or by click on the cell containing the value. Remember to insert a comma “,” after each number is inserted. Since FV has no value insert a second comma after $ 35,000 as following $ 35,000,,
 
Ie Click on the excel cell containing 10% comma click on 4 comma click on $ 35,000 comma comma and enter.
 
Excel should generate the following answer PV = ($110,945.29). Remember to format using dollars to two decimal points.
 
b) Rate NPRT PMT PV FV

Breakeven Analysis – Cost Volume Profit

 

1. Breakeven in Sales (Units) = Fixed Costs
Unit Contribution Margin

***Unit Contribution Margin = (Selling Price per unit – Variable Cost per unit)

 

2. Breakeven in Sales (Dollars) = Fixed Costs
Contribution Margin Ratio

***Contribution Margin Ratio = (Sales – Variable Costs)
Sales

 

3. Target Profit Sales (in Units) = ( Fixed Costs + Target Profit)
Unit Contribution Margin

 
4. Target Profit Sales (in Dollars) = ( Fixed Cost + Target Profit )
Contribution Margin Ratio
 

5. Margin of Safety (in Units) = Sales – Sales at Break even point
 

6. Margin of Safety (as a %) = (Sales – Sales at Break even point)
  Sales

7. Operating Leverage = Contribution Margin

Y = b + mX

Y = Total Fixed Costs and Variable Costs ie dependent variable
X = independent variable number of items produced or activity driver
b = Fixed costs; Y intercept
m = Variable Cost per unit; Slope of the line; or numerical coefficient of X

m = ( Y2 – Y1 )
( X2 – X1 )

Y2 = Highest Y Value
Y1 = Lowest Y Value

X2 = Highest X Value
