Assume a fixed cost of $3,500, a variable cost of $7.25, and a selling price of 12.25.
a. Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit.
= $12.25 - $7.25
= $5
Break-even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
= $3,500 / $5
= 700 units
b. Units to be sold = (Fixed cost + Desired profit) / Contribution margin per unit
= ($3,500 + $500,000) / $5
= 100,700
c. Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost = Profit
(Units * $12.25) - (Units * $7.25) - $3,500 = (Units * $0.75)
(Units * $4.25) = $3,500
Units = 824
(Units * $12.25) - (Units * $7.25) - $3,500 = (Units * $1.25)
(Units * $3.75) = $3,500
Units = 933
(Units * $12.25) - (Units * $7.25) - $3,500 = (Units * $1.75)
(Units * $3.25) = $3,500
Units = 1,077
