Question

In each of the following cases, calculate the accounting break-even and the cash break-even points. Ignore any tax effects in calculating the cash break-even. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Case Unit Price Unit Variable Cost Fixed Costs Depreciation 1 $ 3,340 $ 2,655 $ 7,120,000 $ 1,850,000 2 141 79 86,000 340,000 3 30 7 3,600 760

Answer 1

Answer:

Case 1.

Accounting break-even:

= (Fixed Costs + Depreciation) ÷ (Unit Price - Unit Variable Cost)

= ($7,120,000 + $1,850,000) ÷ ($3,340 - $2,655)

= 8,970,000 ÷ 685

= $13,094.8905

cash break-even:

= Fixed Costs ÷  (Unit Price - Unit Variable Cost)

= $7,120,000 ÷ ($3,340 - $2,655)

= $10,394.1606

Case 2.

Accounting break-even:

= (Fixed Costs + Depreciation) ÷ (Unit Price - Unit Variable Cost)

= ($86,000 + $340,000) ÷ ($141 - $79)

= $426,000 ÷ 62

= $6,870.96774

cash break-even:

= Fixed Costs ÷  (Unit Price - Unit Variable Cost)

= $86,000 ÷ ($141 - $79)

= $1,387.09677

Case 3.

Accounting break-even:

= (Fixed Costs + Depreciation) ÷ (Unit Price - Unit Variable Cost)

= ($3,600 + $760) ÷ ($30 - $7)

= $4,360 ÷ 23

= $189.565217

cash break-even:

= Fixed Costs ÷  (Unit Price - Unit Variable Cost)

= $3,600 ÷ ($30 - $7)

= $156.521739
