Question

If fixed costs are $1,464,000, the unit selling price is $220, and the unit variable costs are $114, what are the break-even sales (units) if fixed costs are increased by $46,400? a.11,399 units b.21,374 units c.17,099 units d.14,249 units

Answer 1

Answer:

d.14,249 units

Explanation:

Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

Where,

Contribution per unit = Unit Selling Price - Unit Variable Cost

                                   = $106

therefore,

Break-even sales (units) = ($1,464,000 + $46,400) ÷ $106

                                        = 14,249

thus,

the break-even sales (units) if fixed costs are increased by $46,400 is 14,249 units.
