Biscuit Company sells its product for $50. In addition, it has a variable cost ratio of 45 percent and total fixed costs of $6,875. What is the break-even point in units for Biscuit Company?
a.3,600 units
b.250 units
c.2,400 units
d.375 units
Before tax profit = Contribution margin - Fixed expenses.
Assume 'y' is the number of units.
Then, $12,000 = y*($50*45%) - $6,875
$12,000+$6,875 = y22.5
y = $18,875/22.5
y = 839 units
