Determine (a) the break-even point in sales units and (b) the sales units required for the company to achieve a target profit of $400,000. a. Break-even point in sales units units b. Break-even point in sales units required for the company to achieve a target profit of $400,000 units

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Break-even point in sales units = 350,000 units

b. Break- even point in sales units to achieve a target profit of $400,000 = 430,000 units

Explanation:

a. Break-even point in sales units = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= $1,750,000 ÷ $5

= 350,000 units

Working note:- Contribution margin = $15 - $10 = $5

b. Break- even point in sales units to achieve a target profit of $400,000 = fixed cost + Targeted profit ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= $1,750,000 + $400,000 ÷ $5

= $2,150,000 ÷ $5

= 430,000 units
