Classic Knitwear Quantitative Analysis

Part I. Break-even volume = fixed cost / contribution


The first step is to calculate the total fixed cost of the marketing program:
Fixed Costs of 2-Year Marketing Program Remarks
Retail displays (10,000 x $100) $ 1,000,000 Case p. 5, paragraph 4
Advertising $ 1,200,000 Case, p. 6, paragraph 2
Additional Salespeople (3 for 2 years) $ 510,000 Case, p. 6, paragraph 1
Fixed Cost of Marketing Program $ 2,710,000

The second step is to calculate the contribution per unit:

Contribution per Unit (Selling Price per Shirt - Variable Cost per Shirt)
Average manufacturer selling price per shirt $ 17.87 Exhibit 4, singles
Less: Average cost of goods sold $ (10.82) Exhibit 4, singles
Less: Invoice Allowance (5% of MSP) $ (0.89) Case, p. 6, paragraph 3
Less: Advertising Allowance (10% of MSP, 20% qualify) $ (0.04) Case, p. 6, paragraph 3
Less: Royalty Payments (5% of MSP less allowances) $ (0.89) Exhibit 3, paragraph 2
Contribution per shirt $ 5.22

Break-even volume can then be calculated as:

Break-even volume 518882 Shirts
