Question

Cheryl is considering adding a rack of greeting cards to her product offerings at The Bitty Bookstore. Her fixed costs associated with adding the greeting cards would be $400. Variable costs per card are $1 each. The greeting cards will sell for $3 each. Helen's break-even point would occur at ________ cards sold.
A. 300B. 200C. 450D. 150

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 200

Explanation:

At Break even point:

Total costs= Total revenue

In the given question

Total costs=Total variable costs+total fixed costs

                 =$1 *number of cards to be sold+$400

Total revenue=$3*number of cards to be sold

$1 *number of cards to be sold+$400=$3*number of cards to be sold

$3*number of cards to be sold-$1 *number of cards to be sold=$400

$2*number of cards to be sold-=$400

Number of units to be sold=$400/$2=200

So based on the above calculations, the answer shall be B. 200
