Answer 1

Answer:

The break even units are 3000 units and when it desires the profit of $36000 then sales unit is 3400 units.

Explanation:

The selling price of a product (SP) = $150 per unit.

Variable cost (VC) = $60 per unit.

Fixed cost of the company = $270000

Break-even units can be calculated by dividing the fixed cost from the difference in selling price and variable cost.

Break even Units = (fixed cost) / ( SP – VC)

= 270000 / (150-60)

= 3000 units.

Break-even units when a company desires a profit of $36000.

Desired units for sales = (Fixed Cost + Profit)/ Contribution per unit

= (270,000 + 36,000) / (150 - 60)

= 3,400 units
