The price per calendar is $10. What is the break-even point in units? How many unit must be sold to yield targated income of $36000?

Respuesta :

Answer

(1) break even point(units) = 8000 units

(2) units to be sold to yield $36000 = 14000 units

Explanation:

(1) BEP = FC/ unit contribution

where, FC ; 13000+35000 = 48000

             unit contribution; 10-(1.5+1.2+0.9+0.4) = $6

BEP = $48000/$6 = 8000 units.

(2) Target sales =(FC + target income)/ unit contribution

                          = ($48000+$36000)/$6

                          = 14000 units.
