Question

Rachel is preparing to open her own raft rental business, cleverly named Rachel's Rafts. She figures out that her fixed costs will be $7,500 and her unit variable costs are $2 per raft. She plans to rent all 2,500 rafts she has on hand. What is Rachel's breakeven price

Answer 1

Answer:

selling price= $5

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed cost= $7,500

Unitary variable cost= $2

Break-even point= 2,500 units

The break-even point is the number of units to sell to cover the fixed costs. At this level, net income is zero.

So given the costs structure and 2,500 units to sell, the selling price that provides the break-even point is:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ (selling price - unitary variable cost)

2,500 = 7,500 / (selling price - 2)

2,500selling price - 5,000 = 7,500

2,500selling price = 12,500

selling price = 12,500 / 2,500

selling price= $5
