Break-Even Sales
Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $200, the unit variable cost is $160, and the total fixed costs are $360,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $220.
a. Compute the current break-even sales
(units).
b. Compute the anticipated break-even sales
(units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased and all
costs remain constant.
a) Current break even sale units
Breakeven sale units = Fixed costs / Contribution margin per unit
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price - Variable cost per unit
= 200 - 160
Contribution margin per unit = 40
Breakeven sale units = 360,000 / 40
Breakeven sale units = 9000 units
b) anticipated break even sales
Contribution margin per unit = 220 - 160
Contribution margin per unit = 60
Breakeven sale units = 360,000 / 60
Breakeven sale units = 6000 units
