c.
The break-even chart would probably be more helpful. The point could be
made that the club has only 20 members in excess of the break-even level of
100 members. Additional information should be provided indicating the
contribution margin and contribution margin ratio. Armed with the chart and
the additional information, a very good point could be made for a membership
recruiting project.

Break-even point in units = $8,400,000 ÷ $4,200 = 2,000 bags
Commercial: 2,000 × 1 = 2,000 mowers
Residential: 2,000 × 3 = 6,000 mowers
b.
($8,400,000 + $1,260,000) ÷ $4,200 = 2,300 bags
Commercial: 2,300 × 1 = 2,300 mowers
Residential: 2,300 × 3 = 6,900 mowers
c.
Pre-tax equivalent of $1,008,000 after-tax = $1,008,000 ÷ (1
0.40) =
$1,680,000
($8,400,000 + $1,680,000) ÷ $4,200 = 2,400 bags
Commercial: 2,400 × 1 = 2,400 mowers
Residential: 2,400 × 3 = 7,200 mowers
d.
Let X = number of bags that must be sold to produce pre-tax earnings
equaling 12 percent of sales revenue, then:
$4,200X
$8,400,000
= 0.12($11,000X)
X = 2,917 bags (rounded)
Commercial: 2,917 × 1 = 2,917 mowers
Residential: 2,917 × 3 = 8,751 mowers
e.
Convert the after-tax return to a pre-tax rate of return:
0.08 ÷ (1
0.40) = 13% (rounded)
$4,200X
$8,400,000
= 0.13($11,000X)
X
= 3,032 bags (rounded)
Commercial: 3,032 × 1 = 3,032 mowers
Residential: 3,032 × 3 = 9,096 mowers
