SOLUTIONS:
a. Break-even point in units
BEP in units= Total Fixed Costs
CM per unit
= 72,000
6
= P12,000 units
b. Break-even point in pesos

16.67%
= P432,000.00
c. Margin of safety in units
MS in units= Sales in units – BEP in units
= P15,000 – P12,000
= P3,000 units
d. Margin of safety in pesos
MS in pesos= Sales in pesos – BEP in pesos
= P540,000 – P432,000.00
= P108,000.00
e. Desired sales in units to earn a profit of P12,000
Desired sales in units= Total Fixed Costs + Target Profit
CM per unit
= P72,000 + P12,000

= P14,000
a. Desired sales in pesos to earn a profit of P12,000
Desired sales in pesos= Total Fixed Costs + Target Profit
CM ratio
= P72,000 + P12,000
