Answer 1

Answer:Annual fixed expenses = $ 539,000

Explanation:

Given;

break even point on books sold= $49,000

sales price per unit = $39

variable cost= $28

Using the formulae,

Break-Even point (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ (Sales price per unit – Variable costs per unit) or in sales

49,000   =Fixed cost / ( 39-28)

Fixed cost = 49,000  x 11

               = $ 539,000

Annual fixed expenses = $ 539,000
