A project with a life of one year has an accounting break-even point of 2,962 units. The fixed costs are $46,308 and the depreciation expense is $22,147. The projected variable cost per unit is $23.10. What is the projected sales price?

Answer 1

Answer:

The projected sales price is $46.21 per unit

Explanation:

The break-even point is the level of production at which the costs of production equal the revenues for a product and calculated by using following formula:

Break-even point in units = Fixed expense/(Selling price per unit-Variable cost per unit)

Selling price per unit = (Fixed expense/Break-even point in units) + Variable cost per unit)

The project  has an accounting break-even point of 2,962 units.

The depreciation expense is $22,147 and The fixed costs are $46,308. The depreciation expense is fixed cost.

Total Fixed expense =  $22,147 + $46,308 = $68,455

Selling price per unit = ($68,455/2,962) + $23.10 = $46.21 per unit
