ZBC, Inc. sells a single product for
$10 per unit. Variable costs are $5 per unit and fixed
costs are
$2,000.
A - Calculate the break-even point in units.
B - How many units must be sold to earn $10,000 before income tax?
Ans)
Contribution margin per unit = selling price - variable cost
Contribution margin = $10-$5
Contribution margin per unit = $5
Fixed costs = $2,000
A. Break even point in units = Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit
= $2,000/$5
Break even point in units = 400
B. Target sales = (Fixed costs+target profit) /contribution margin per unit
= ($2,000+$10,000)/$5
= $12,000/$5
= 2,400
Target sales units = 2,400 to earn $10,000 profit
