Question

Frank Corporation manufactures a single product that has a selling price of $25.00 per unit. Fixed expenses total $64,000 per year, and the company must sell 8,000 units to break even. If the company has a target profit of $19,000, sales in units must be:________.a. 9,648b. 8,760c. 10,375d. 10,560

Answer 1

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 10,375

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $25

Fixed cost= $64,000

Break-even point in units= 8,000

First, we need to determine the unitary contribution margin:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

8,000 = 64,000 / contribution margin per unit

contribution margin per unit8,000= 64,000

contribution margin per unit= 64,000 / 8,000

contribution margin per unit= $8

Now, the number of units to be sold to make a profit of $19,000:

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

Break-even point in units= (64,000 + 19,000) / 8

Break-even point in units= 10,375
