Sales | 600000 | 630000 |
COGS | 200000 | 189000 |
Gross Profit | 400000 | 441000 |
FC ( Operating Costs ) | 200000 | 220000 |
EBIT | 200000 | 221000 |
COGS
Now = 20000*10 = 200000
Proposed = 21000 * 9 = 189000
FC (OPerating costs)
Now = 200000 ( given)
Proposed = 200000+20000 = 220000
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Operating Break even point = Fixed costs / Contribution per unit
Now = Contribution per unit = 30-10 = 20
= 200000 / 20 = 10000 Units
Proposed = Contribution per unit = 30-9 = 21
= 220000 / 21
= 10476 Units
