A company sells calculators for $117. Variable costs associated with this product are $40 per unit and fixed costs associated with this product are $59,000. Total sales in the year just ended were 3,000 units.
What is the break-even point?
Select one:
a. 766 units
b. 1475 units
c. 1266 units
d. 504 units
Answer : a. 766 units |
Computation:
Selling Price = $117 per unit
Variable cost = $40 per unit
Fixed cost = $59,000
Step 1: Calculation of contribution per unit
Contribution per unit = Selling Price - Variable cost per unit |
Contribution per unit = $117 per unit - $40 per unit = $77 per unit
Step 2 : Break even point
Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution per unit |
Break Even Point = $59,000 / $77 per unit = 766.23 Units
Break Even Point ≈ 766 units |
All the best...
