Carnelian Company

The sales that Carnelian must make to earn an operating income of $21,500 is:

= $710,500.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Selling price per bicycle = $200

Variable cost per unit = $160

Contribution margin per unit = $40 ($200 - $160)

Contribution margin percentage = $40/$200 * 100 = 20%

Fixed cost = $120,600

Target operating income = $21,500

Sales in dollars to earn target operating income = (Fixed cost + Target Income)/Contribution margin ratio

= $120,600 + $21,500/20%

= $142,100/0.2

= $710,500
