Answer:
$25,000
Explanation:
The computation of the break-even point in sales dollars is shown below:
Break even point = (Fixed expenses) ÷ (Profit volume Ratio)
where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit
= $100 - $60
= $40
And, Profit volume ratio = (Contribution margin per unit) ÷ (selling price per unit) × 100
So, the Profit volume ratio = ($40) ÷ ($100) × 100 = 40%
And, the fixed expenses is $10,000
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would equal to
= ($10,000) ÷ (40%)
= $25,000
