Question

JVL Enterprises has set a target profit of $126,000. The company sells a single product for $50 per unit. Variable costs are $15 per unit and fixed costs total $98,000. How many units does JVL have to sell to BREAK-EVEN?

Answer 1

Answer:

The break even unit is 2800 units.

Explanation:

The target profit of JVL Enterprises = $126000

The selling price of a single unit (SP) = $50 per unit.

Variable cost (VC) = $15

Fixed cost of the production (FC) = $98000

Now find the break-even unit by dividing the fixed cost with the difference of selling price and variable cost.

The break even unit = FC / (SP-VC)

= 98000 / (50 – 15)

= 2800 units
