Answer 1

Answer:

$19200

Explanation:

This breakeven point can be calculated as under:

Breakeven Quantity = (Fixed Cost - Additional F. Cost) / (Selling Price - Variable Cost per unit)

Here

Fixed cost = $12,000

Variable Cost = $1.5 per unit

Selling Price = $2 per unit

Additional Fixed Cost = $2,400

By putting Values:

Breakeven Quantity = ($12,000 - $2,400) / ($2 - $1.5)

Breakeven Point = 19,200
