    Basic CVP analysis
    Good Morning,

    I've given this question a crack but am stuck on a few of the sub-questions involved, all I am requesting is some information / examples of how I am to come up with these answers which are required.

    Information provided
    Pizza Hutt delivers pizzas to the residential colleges and flats near a major university. The company’s annual fixed costs are $54,000. The sales price of a pizza is $10, and it costs the company $6 to make and deliver each pizza. (In the following requirements, ignore income taxes.)


    1. Using the contribution margin approach, calculate the company’s break-even point in units (pizzas).

    2. What is the contribution margin ratio?

    3. Calculate the break-even point in sales dollars. Use the contribution margin ratio in your calculation.

    4. How many pizzas must the company sell to earn a target net profit of
    $60,000? Use the CVP equation.
    - 28,500 Pizzas must be sold to reach the target net profit

    Does anyone have a formula for the margin aspects that they could kindly advise me of so I can work out these questions? Any advice is greatly appreciated

    Thanks :)
