Techpro has a selling price of $10 and variable costs of $6. if both the selling price and the variable costs increase by 10%, the break-even point will not change.
True/false
Answer is as follows:
Correct Option: False
The Break-Even point will change when there is a change in selling price and variable costs.
Since the formula for break-even point is Fixed Costs / SP - VC, change in denominator will affect the change in break-even point.
For example if we take Fixed Costs as $100000, original SP = $10, VC= $6
10% increased SP = $11, VC = $6.6
Break - even point :
Before change = 100000 / 10 - 6 =25000 units
After change = 100000 / 11 - 6.6 = 22727 units
By this we can clearly say that change in selling price and variable costs brings change in break-even point.
