a) Calculate break even in units (round units up to next whole number)
b) Calculate break even in dollars.
c) How many units must be sold to obtain a targeted before-tax income of $6,000?
d)How many units must be sold to obtain a targeted after-tax income of $6,000?
a.
Break even points in units = Fixed costs / Contribution margin per unit
Break even points in units = $37,500 / $1 ($2.75-0.75-0.25-0.75) = 37,500 units
b.
Break even in dollars = 37,500 * $2.75 = $103,125
c.
Desired sales units = Fixed costs + Desired profit / Contribution margin per unit
Desired sales units = $37,500 + 6,000 / $1 = 43,500 units
d.
Desired sales units = Fixed costs + Desired profit / Contribution margin per unit
Desired sales units = $37,500 + 10,000($6,000/60%) / $1 = 47,500 units
