Answer:
Break-even point= 713 car washes
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
For December he paid $2,000 in rent, $700 in utilities, $2,950 in salaries, and $50 on advertising. A full-service car wash costs $10.50. Unit variable costs per car wash are $2.50.
First, we need to calculate the total fixed costs:
Fixed costs= rent + utilities + salaries + advertising
Fixed costs= 2,000 + 700 + 2,950 + 50= $5,700
Now, using the following formula, we can calculate the break-even point in units:
Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin
Break-even point= 5,700/ (10.5 - 2.5)= 713 car washes
