Question is Incomplete
a) What is the break-even point in units for proposal A?
b) What is the break-even point in units for proposal B?
Answer:
a. Break Even Point for Proposal A = 6,250 Units
a. Break Even Point for Proposal B = 7,000 Units
Explanation:
a. Calculating Break Even Point for Proposal A
Given
For Proposal A:
Fixed costs = $50,000
Variable cost = $ 12.00
Revenue generated = $20.00.
The break unit point is calculated using the following formula:
Break Even Point = F/ (R - V) =
Where F = Fixed Cost = $50,000
R = Generated Revenue = $20
V = Variable Cost = $12
By Substituton
Break Even Point = $50000/($20-$12)
Break Even Point = $50000/$8
Break Even Point = 6250 Units

b. Calculating Break Even Point for Proposal B
Given
For Proposal B
Fixed costs = $70,000
Variable cost = $ 10.00
Revenue generated = $20.00.
The break unit point is calculated using the following formula:
Break Even Point = F/ (R - V) =
Where F = Fixed Cost = $70,000
R = Generated Revenue = $10
V = Variable Cost = $12
By Substituton
Break Even Point = $70,000/($20-$10)
Break Even Point = $70,000/$10
Break Even Point = 7,000 Units
