(TCO B)
Evergreen Corp. has provided the following data:
Sales per period 1,000 units
Selling price $40 per unit
Variable manufacturing cost $12 per unit
Selling expenses $5,100 plus 5% of selling price
Administrative expenses $3,000 plus 20% of selling price
The number of units needed to achieve a target net operating income of $49,500 would be:
1,238 Units
2,750 Units
3,200 Units
2,057 Units
2. All other things the same, which of the following would be true of the contribution margin and variable expenses of a capital-intensive company with fixed costs and low variable costs as compared to a labor-intensive company with low fixed costs and high variable costs? (Points: 8)
Contribution Margin - Higher, Variable Costs - Higher
Contribution Margin - Lower, Variable Costs - Higher
Contribution Margin - Higher, Variable Costs - Lower
Contribution Margin - Lower, Variable Costs - Lower
3. (TCO B) Garth Company sells a single product. If the selling price per unit and the variable expense per unit both increase by 10% and fixed expenses do not change, then: (Points: 8)

Hello!
Here are your answers.
Question 1 - Correct answer is D
Let's call X to the number of units sold. We get the following relationship:
Op. Inc. = (40 - 12)X - 5100 - 0.05*40X - 3000 - 0.20*40X
(as you can see, it's just Total Revenues minus Total Costs)
Since we want the Operating Income to be $49,500, we simply solve the equation:
49500 = (40 - 12)X - 5100 - 0.05*40X - 3000 - 0.20*40X
49500 = 38X - 5100 - 2X - 3000 - 8X
49500 = 28X - 8100
X = 2,057.14...
Therefore, 2,057 units are needed.
Question 2 - Correct Answer is C
Clearly, variable costs are lower in a capital-intensive firm than in a labor-intensive firm, as a capital-intensive firm ...
