Calculate Break Even when a given profit is required
1. Fixed Costs a. Fixed Factory Overhead = $1,000,000 b. Fixed Selling overhead = $500,000
2. Variable Costs
a. Variable Manufacturing costs = $1000
b. Variable selling cost per unit = $500
3. Cost Per Unit = $10,000
4. Profit of $250,000 is required ii.
Calculate the CM iii.
Calculate the CM %
