Assignment: Miller Metal Co. makes a single product that sells for $32 each and has variable costs of $20.80 per unit. Fixed costs total $47,600 monthly.
1) Calculate break even in units.
2) Assume current sales are $160,000. Calculate margin of safety and margin of safety ratio.

Calculate the firm's operating income if 5,000 units of the original product and 4,000 units of the new product are sold each month. For the original product, use the selling price and variable cost data given in the first sentence above.
6) Calculate the firm's operating income if 4,000 units of the original product and 5,000 units of the new product are sold each month.
