How much revenue do we need to take in before breaking even? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)Break-even point $

Answer 1

Answer:

break even point in units = 2,667

break even point in $ = $33,338

Explanation:

The break even point marks the point where a company is able to cover all its expenses. At this point the company is not losing money, but it is not making a profit either.

break even point in units = total fixed costs / contribution margin

• total fixed costs = $10,000
• contribution margin = $12.50 - ($4 + $4.75) = $12.50 - $8.75 = $3.75

break even point in units = $10,000 / $3.75 = 2,666.67 ≈ 2,667 units

break even point in $ = 2,667 units x $12.50 per unit = $33,337.50 ≈ $33,338
