intends on adding a new product line. the contribution margin ratio for the new product is 0.2. they have a target operating income of $60,000, and targeted sales volume in dollars is $480,000. then total fixed costs must be: g

The total fixed costs must be:

$36,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Contribution margin ratio for the new product = 0.2

Target operating income = $60,000

Targeted sales volume in dollars = $480,000

Fixed costs = targeted sales volume in dollars multiplied by contribution margin ratio, minus target operating income

Fixed costs = ($480,000 * 0.2) - $60,000 = $36,000

b) The focus should be on the break-even formula for dollar sales with a target profit.  When the formula is reversed, the fixed costs can be calculated as shown above.

1) We must follow the revenue recognition principle in order to determine whether these transactions represent one single performance obligation or three separate ones. If revenue can be recognized after each delivery has been made, then each transaction will be considered a separate performance obligation.

Personally, I believe that on November 8, 2018, $450,000 in revenue must be recognized since title of the goods passed from Bullseye to Schmidt. That means that the earning process had been realized. The same for the other transactions, so I would consider them 3 separate performance obligations.

2) total revenue for 2018:

November 8 = $450,000

December 27: $150,000

total = $600,000
