Qwik Service has over 200 auto-maintenance service outlets nationwide. It provides primarily two lines of service: oil changes and brake repair. Oil change-related services represent 75% of its sales and provide a contribution margin ratio of 20%. Brake repair represent 25% of its sales and provides a 60% contribution margin ratio. The company's fixed costs are $12,000,000 (that is, $60,000 per service outlet).InstructionsA. Calculate the dollar amount of each type of service that the company must provide in order to break even. B. THe company has a desired net income of $45,000 per service outlet. What is the dollar amount of each type of service that must be provided by each service outlet to meet its target net income per outlet?

A. The answer is:

Oil-related revenue = 0.75 x 40,000,000 = $30,000,000;

Repair-related revenue = 0.25 x 40,000,000 = $10,000,000

B. The answer is:

Oil-related revenue = 0.75 x 350,000 = $262,500;

Repair-related revenue = 0.25 x 350,000 = $87,500.

Explanation:

A.

Denote X is the total revenue Qwik Service has to earn.

We have:

Oil charge-related revenue: 0.75X; Oil charge-related margin 0.2 x 0.75X = 0.15X

Brake repair-related revenue: 0.25X; Brake repair-related margin: 0.25X x 0.6 = 0.15X.

=> Total contribution margin = 0.15X + 0.15X = 0.3X

To meet break-even, the total contribution margin should be equal to fixed cost or: 0.3X = 12,000,000 <=> X = $40,000,000

=> Oil-related revenue = 0.75 x 40,000,000 = $30,000,000;

    Repair-related revenue = 0.25 x 40,000,000 = $10,000,000.

B.

The note Y is the total revenue per one outlet.

At one outlet, revenue and margin will be:

Oil charge-related revenue: 0.75X; Oil charge-related margin 0.2 x 0.75X = 0.15X

Brake repair-related revenue: 0.25X; Brake repair-related margin: 0.25X x 0.6 = 0.15X.

=> Total contribution margin = 0.15X + 0.15X = 0.3X

To meet net income target of $45,000, the total contribution margin should be equal to fixed cost of $60,000 and delivering $45,000 net income or: 0.3X = 45,000 + 60,000 <=> X = $350,000.

=> Oil-related revenue = 0.75 x 350,000 = $262,500;

    Repair-related revenue = 0.25 x 350,000 = $87,500.
