Question

Neptune Company produces toys and other items for use in bthe following and resort areas. A small, inflatable toy has come onto the market that the company is anxious to produce and sell. The new toy will sell for 3 per unit. Enough capacity exists in the company's plant to produce 16,000 units of the toy the following month. Variable costs to manufacture and sell one unit would be 1.25 , and fixed costs associated with the toy would total 35,000 per month. The company's Marketing Department predicts that demand for the new toy will exceed the 16,000 units that the company is able to produce. Additional manufacturing space can be rented from another company at a fixed cost of 1,000 per month. Variable costs in the rented facility would total 1.40 per unit, due to somewhat less efficient operations than in the main plant.
(a) Compute the monthly break-even point for the new toy in units and in total sales dollars. Show all computations.

Answer 1

Break-even point (in dollar sales):

Determine the monthly break-even point for the new toy in dollar sales as shown below:

Break-even point (in sales dollars) = Break-even point (in units) × Selling price per unit

=50,115 units $2.60 each

= $130,299

Thus, the break-even point (in sales dollars) is $130, 299.

The break-even point is the point at which total costs equal total sales. In other words, there is no loss or profit for small businesses. This means that we have reached a stage of production where the cost of production equals the revenue of the product. A breakeven point is used in multiple areas of business and finance.
