Answer:
Break-even point in units= 6,500 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per unit= $100
Fixed expenses total $225,000 per year
Break-even point= 5,000
Desired profit= $67,500
<u>First, we need to calculate the contribution margin per unit:</u>
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
5,000= 225,000 / contribution margin per unit
contribution margin per unit= 225,000/5,000
contribution margin per unit= $45
<u>Now, we can determine the number of units to be sold:</u>
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (225,000 + 67,500) / 45
Break-even point in units= 6,500 units
