Spartan systems reported total sales of $430,000, at a price of $25 and per unit variable expenses of $16, for the sales of their single product. total per unit sales $430,000 $25 variable expenses 275,200 16 contribution margin 154,800 $9 fixed expenses 113,000 net operating income $41,800 what is the amount of contribution margin if sales volume increases by 20%

We are told the company had total sales of $430,000 and sold each product for $25. We can conclude that they sold 17,200 units of their product by dividing 430000 by 25.

As we are selling a single product in the problem's text, and because we told both per-unit contribution margin and net operating income, we have enough information to build a contribution based income statement. In a contribution based (or internal) statement, Revenue - Total Variable Expenses = Contribution Margin and Contribution Margin - Total Fixed Expenses = Operating Income.

$430,000 Total Sales Revenue

(275,200) Total Variable Expenses

$154,800 Total Contribution Margin

(113,000) Total Fixed Expenses

$41,800 Net Income

Think of our above statement as the BEFORE. Now we are going to make the AFTER and increase the volume. Since the selling price is $25 and we sold 17,200 units, we multiply 17,200 times 20% to find the new units sold. 17200 * 20% is 3440 units. We add that to the 17.200 units to find our new sales volume, which is 20,640 units. Since each product sells for $25 each, we can calculate our new contribution margin.

$516,000 Sales Revenue AFTER 20% increase

(330,240) Variable Expenses AFTER 20 % increase; 16 * 20640

$185,760 Contribution Margin AFTER 20% increase

Thus the new contribution margin is $185,760.

answer: b) the us is the leading importer but not the leading exporter.

extra info:

the u.s is the largest importer but it is not the largest exporter as china sits on the top of the table when it comes to leading exporters.

but u.s is not far from first,

they rank in 2nd globally as the worlds largest exporter.
