    Thanks for sharing though. Looks like I'll be thoroughly freakin out all weekend.

    Shani-Q, Answer: (A)

    CM = 100/800 = 0.125

    SP – VC = CM – C = P

    $1,200,000 – (1,200,000*(1-0.125)) = 150,000 – 100,000 = 50,000

    DMende is right. I've studied so much I'm getting everything confused, even easy stuff

    I would have done it by multiplying the 400 above BEven by the CM

    400 * .125 = 50

    But since I'm stupid I can't realize that on my own. Here's to failing on Tuesday.

    Correct answer: A

    Breakeven sales = Variable costs + Fixed costs

    Or:

    Variable costs = Breakeven sales – Fixed costs

    = $800,000 – $100,000

    = $700,000

    Variable cost rate = Variable Costs / Breakeven Sales

    = $700,000 / $800,000

    = .875

    Projected profit = Sales – Variable costs – Fixed costs

    = $1,200,000 – .875(1,200,000) – $100,000

    = $1,200,000 – $1,050,000 – $100,000

    = $50,000

    Asta, Inc., is a medical laboratory that performs tests for physicians. Asta anticipates performing between 5,000 and 12,000 tests during the month of April. Compared to industry averages, at the low range of activity Asta has a lower sales price per test, higher fixed costs, and the same breakeven point in number of tests performed. At the high range of activity, Asta’s sales price per test and fixed costs are the same as industry averages, and Asta’s variable costs are lower. At the low range of activity (0 to 4,999 tests performed) fixed costs are $160,000. At the high range of activity (5,000 to 14,999 tests performed) fixed costs are $200,000.

    Sales price per test $60

    Variable costs per test 20

    What is the number of units Asta must sell to achieve a gross profit of $160,000?

    A.

    4,000

    B.

    5,000

    C.

    8,000

    D.

    9,000

    @ DoOver

    You'll be fine. Positive thoughts only…you will pass, you won't DoOver.

    Answer D

    (160,000 Fixed Costs + 160,000 desired profit) / (60 Sales Price – 20 Variable Costs) = 320,000 / 40 = 8,000 units. We throw away this answer because it falls out of our relevant range.

    so now we look at:

    (200,000 Fixed Costs + 160,000 desired profit) / (60 Sales Price – 20 Variable Costs) = 360,000 / 40 = 9,000 units. We keep this answer because it's in our relevant range.

    I took the last few days off. I really need a mental break from it since my exam isn't for a few more weeks. But today I need to get back on the horse. Going to purchase NINJA MCQ right now and start hitting it up.

    I'm really glad I bought NINJA MCQ. I'm getting some topics that I've never seen before.

    Going in I knew my weakest area was the Financial Management portion and NINJA is showing that to be true. I'm really good with concepts but the Financial Management formulas are really tricky and cumbersome for me.
