Answer:
11,000
Explanation:
The breakeven point is the number of units that must be sold such that the total sales becomes equal to the total cost. The total cost is made of the fixed and variable cost.
Given
selling price = $15.00 per unit
Fixed expenses total = $51,000 per year
Breakeven units = 8500
let the variable cost per unit be y
15(8500) = 8500y + 51000
8500y = 127500 - 51000
y = 76500
/8500
y = $9
To make a profit of $15,000, let required sales unit be T
15T - (51000 + 9T) = 15000
6T = 15000 + 51000
6T = 66000
T = 11,000
To make a profit of $15,000, sales in unit must be 11,000
