a. The Contribution Margin is the Selling Price less the Variable Cost therefore the Contribution Margin Ratio is the Selling Price less the Variable Cost with the result divided by the Selling Price.

Contribution Margin Ratio = (30 - 10) / 30

= 20/30

= 66.7%

This means that for every Monthly subscription that Nottingham News sells, they have 66.7% of the income left to.cover Fixed Costs.

b. The Break-Even Point is the point at which the company is making no losses and no profit. To calculate this, you can use a little algebra.

Px = Vx + F

P is the Price of subscription

x is the units

V is the Variable cost

F is fixed cost

30x = 10x + 3,000

20x = 3,000

x = 3,000/20

x = 150 units.

Break-Even Point is 150 subscriptions.

c. An easy formula to calculate the Break-Even Point is to divide the fixed costs by the Contribution Margin.

Fixed Costs are $3,000.

Contribution Margin = 30 - 10 = $20

Break-Even = 3,000 / 20

= 150 subscriptions

d. Contribution Margin Income Statement.

Sales (150 units * $30) $4,500

Variable Costs ( 150 * 10) ($1,500)

Contribution Margin $3,000

Fixed Costs ($3,000)

Net Income $0

e. The Break-Even Point is 150 units.

Break-Even Point in dollars will be,

= 150 units * $30 ( sales price)

= $4,500

$4,500 is Break-Even Point in dollars.

f. The Margin of safety ratio is the Percentage by which a company can reduce in sales and still be able to cover all costs.

Nottingham news usually sells 700 units.

Their Margin of safety ratio is

=( Actual Sales - Break-Even Sales) / Actual Sales

= (700 - 150 ) / 700

= 0.79

= 79%

Nottingham News can lose sales of 79% and still be able to pay off their costs.

g. Treat the $10,000 as a fixed income and use it to calculate a new Break-Even Point.

= (Fixed Costs + $10,000 income) / Contribution Margin

= (3,000 + 10,000)/20

= 13,000/20

= 650 units.

650 subscriptions are needed for that income which translates to $19,500 in sales dollars.

= 650 * 30

= $19,500
