Without Changes
Break Even Sales Volume in Dollars= Fixed Costs/ 1- (variable Costs/ Sales)
Break Even Sales Volume in Units =$162,000/1- (36/ 90)
Break Even Sales Volume in Units =$162,000/1=0.4
Break Even Sales Volume in Units =$162,000/0.6
Break Even Sales Volume in Units =270000
1.When Total fixed costs are changed to $190,000
Break Even Sales Volume in Units =$190,000/0.6= 316,666.67
The increase in fixed costs shows an unfavorable increase in break even units
2. When Variable costs are changed to to $34 per unit
Break Even Sales Volume in Units =$162,000/1- (34/ 90)
Break Even Sales Volume in Units =$162,000/0.622
Break Even Sales Volume in Units = 260357. 14
The decrease in Variable costs shows a favorable decrease in break even units
3. When Selling price is changed to $80
Break Even Sales Volume in Units =$162,000/1- (36/ 80)
Break Even Sales Volume in Units =$162,000/0.55
Break Even Sales Volume in Units =254545.45
The decrease in Selling price shows a favorable decrease in break even units
Yes it is necessary to compute new break-even points because this is how we can see the changes in units and the effects of the changes.
