<span>The process is called futurecasting. Clustering is a completely different concept related to the organization of resources. Networking is a concept related to building social connections through self-advertising and linking networks with associates. Matchmaking is typically used in reference to specifically cultivating relationships between two people with complementary skill sets or similar core work values. Thus only futurecasting is left as an option.</span>
<u>Solution:</u>
The price per variable unit is set at 1.5 times the cost; the VC / unit is estimated at $2.50.
Price = 2.5 * 2.50 = $6.25
Variable cost = $2.50
Fixed cost = $220,000
Break-Even Volume = Fixed cost / (Price - Variable cost)
= $220.000 / (6.25 - 2.50)
Break-Even Volume = 58,667 units
Answer:
a. Break-even point in sales units = 350,000 units
b. Break- even point in sales units to achieve a target profit of $400,000 = 430,000 units
Explanation:
a. Break-even point in sales units = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $1,750,000 ÷ $5
= 350,000 units
Working note:- Contribution margin = $15 - $10 = $5
b. Break- even point in sales units to achieve a target profit of $400,000 = fixed cost + Targeted profit ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $1,750,000 + $400,000 ÷ $5
= $2,150,000 ÷ $5
= 430,000 units
