Question

Product Y sells for $15 per unit, and has variable expenses of $9 per unit. Fixed expenses total $300,000 per year. How many units of Product Y must be sold each year to yield an annual profit of $90,000?
a. 50,000 units
b. 65,000 units
c. 15,000 units
d. 43,333 units

Answer 1

Answer:

b. 65,000 units

Explanation:

The number of units of products y must sell to yield an annual profit of $90,000 is computed as;

Break even point in sales units = (Fixed cost + Targeted profit) / Contribution margin

Given that ;

Fixed cost = $300,000

Targeted profit = $90,000

Contribution margin = $15 - $9 = $6

Therefore,

Break even point in sales units = ($300,000 + $90,000) / $6

= 65,000 units

The number of units of products y must sell to yield an annual profit of $90,000 is 65,000 units.
