Answer:

1.

Break even in units = 12100 units

Break even in dollar sales = $484000

2.

Total contribution margin at break even point is $145200.

Explanation:

1.

Break even point is a point, calculated in either units or in dollar value, which provides a point where there is no profit or no loss and the total sales revenue is equal to the total cost.

Break even in units and in dollars can be calculated as follows,

  • Break even in units = Fixed costs / Contribution margin per unit

  • Break even in dollars = Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio

  • Where contribution margin = Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit

  • Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin per unit / selling price per unit

Break even in units = 145200 / 12    = 12100 units per month

Break even in dollars = 145200 / (12/40)    = $484000

2.

Total contribution margin at break even point is $145200 because total contribution margin is the difference between the total sales revenue and total variable cost and at the break even point, the total contribution margin is enough to cover total fixed cost. So, it is equal to the total fixed cost.

Inessa [10]

Answer:

option (B) 25,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Fixed cost = $500,000 per year

Cost of wood and labor to manufacture one bat = $5

Selling price of the bat = $25

Now,

At breakeven, total cost equals to the total revenue

let the breakeven quantity be 'x'

thus,

$500,000 + $5x = $25x

or

$25x - $5x = $500,000

or

$20x = $500,000

or

x = 25,000

Hence,

the correct answer is option (B) 25,000
