Question

Bramble Corp. sells MP3 players for $60 each. Variable costs are $30 per unit, and fixed costs total $120000. How many MP3 players must Bramble sell to earn net income of $300000?

Answer 1

Answer:

Break-even point in units=  14,000 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $60

Variable costs are $30 per unit

Fixed costs total $120,000.

Desired profit= $300,000

To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (120,000 + 300,000) / 30

Break-even point in units=  14,000 units
