Answer 1

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 33,333.33 units

Explanation:

The break-even point (BEP) is the quantity of each product to be sold such that the business makes no profit or loss.

The beak-even point can be determined as follows:  

The Break-even point in sales = Total general fixed cost / Contribution per unit margin

Contribution per unit = Contribution margin ration ×  selling price

                                   = 40%×11.25 =4.5

The break-even point (in unit) =  150,000/ 4.5 =33,333.33

break-even point in units= 33,333.33 units
