Tyler Corporation is a wholesaler that sells a single product. Management has
provided the following cost data for two levels of monthly sales volume. The
company sells the product for $127.20 per unit.
Sales volume (units): 5,000 6,000
Cost of Sales: $419,000 $502,800
Selling and Administrative costs: $186,500 $202,200
The best estimate of the total contribution margin when 5,300 units are sold is:

- $51,410
- $32,330 - CORRECT ANSWER $146,810
VC per unit:[705,000 (502,800 + 202,200) - 605,500(419,000 + 186,500)] / 6,000 -
5,000 = $99.50$127.20 (SP) -$99.50 (VC) = $27.70 (CM) x 5,300 (units) = $146,810

- 29,000
- 16,000 - CORRECT ANSWER 29,000
FC @ BE = CM @ BE
FC = 28,000 x 4 = $112,000
FC + TP / CM = $112,000 + 4,000 / $4 = 29,000
