Break-Even Point
Nicolas Inc. sells a product for $62 per unit. The variable cost is $38 per unit, while fixed costs are $69,120.
Determine (a) the break-even point in sales units and (b) the break-even point if the selling price were increased to $68 per unit.
a. Break-even point in sales units | units |
b. Break-even point if the selling price were increased to $68 per unit | units |
a. Break-even point in sales units
Contribution per unit = Selling price – Variable cost per unit
= $62 - $38
= $24 per unit
Break-even point in unit sales = Fixed costs / Contribution per unit
= $69,120 / $24 per unit
= $2,880 units
b. Break-even point if the selling price were increased to $68 per unit
Contribution per unit = Selling price – Variable cost per unit
= $68 - $38
= $30 per unit
Break-even point in unit sales = Fixed costs / Contribution per unit
= $69,120 / $30 per unit
= $2,304 units
