Using the following data, calculate the
breakeven point and margin of safety in units:
qSelling Price = $50
oVariable Cost = $40
oFixed Cost = $70,000
oPlanned Budgeted Sales = 7,500 units
HOW TO DRAW THE BEP GRAPH IN DETAILS FOR THIS QUESTION ?
Given information
Selling price per unit = 50
Variable cost per unit = 40
Calculate contribution per unit
Contribution per unit = Sales price – Variable cost
Contribution = 50 – 40 = 10
Fixed cost = 70,000
Break even point in units = Fixed cost/Contribution per unit
Break even point in units = 70,000 / 10 = 7000 units
Budgeted sales = 7500 units
Margin of safety = Budgeted sales – Break even sales
MOS = 7500 – 7000 = 500 units
The following is the break even diagram
