Alternative Annual Fixed Cost Annual Variable Cost per Unit
A $50,000 $20
B $100,000 $10
Vegas Herman In. is investigating implementing some new production machinery as a part of its operations. Two alternatives have been found, and they have the following fixed & variable costs. What is the break-even point (which means break-even output)?
a. 5,000.
b. 6,000.
c. 7,000.
d. 8,000.
Break even utput in units an be formulated in forllowing equation | |||||||
Assume number of units as X | |||||||
Fixed cost of A + (number of units * variable cost of A) =Fixed cost of B+ (number of units * variable cost of B) | |||||||
$50000+($20*X) =$100000+($10*X) | |||||||
50000+20X =100000+10X | |||||||
10X =$50000 | |||||||
X =50000/10 | |||||||
X =5000 | |||||||
Correct Answer = a.5000 | |||||||
Kindly give a positive rating if you are satisfied with this solution and please ask if you have any query. | |||||||
