Question

Barney Company makes and sells stuffed animals. One product, Michael Bears, sells for $28 per bear. Michael Bears have fixed costs of $100,000 per month and a variable cost of $12 per bear. How many Michael Bears must be produced and sold each month to break even

Answer 1

Answer:

6,250 units

Explanation:

The computation of the number of units that should be sold and produced in order to break even is shown below:

as we know that

Break even point = Fixed cost ÷Contribution margin per unit

Here

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price - Variable costs

= $28 - $12

= $16

So, the breakeven is

= $100,000 ÷ $16

= 6,250 units
