Question

Assume a fixed cost for a process of $15,000. The variable cost to produce each unit of product is $10, and the selling price for the finished product is $25. Which of the following is the number of units that has to be produced and sold to break even?
790 units
1,000 units
500 units
900 units
667 units

Answer 1

Answer:

1,000 units

Explanation:

The break even point refers to the number of units of a product a company would sell such that the company's sales is equal to the total cost.

The total cost includes the fixed and variable costs. As such, at break even point, net profit is zero.

Let the number of units be G

25G = 10G + $15,000

15G = $15,000

G = 1000 units

The number of units that has to be produced and sold to break even is 1,000 units.
