Answer 1

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 110,000

Break-even point in dollars= $1,705,00

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Mix has annual fixed costs of​ $880,000 and a variable cost per pie of​ $7.50. Each pie sells for​ $15.50 each. The firm expects to sell​ 500,000 pies annually.

We need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 880,000/ [(15.5 - 7.5)/15.5]= $1,705,000

Break-even point (units)= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point= 880,000/ (15.5 - 7.5)= 110,000 units
