What is the effect on break-even level of revenues for each dollar of increase in fixed costs plus depreciation for a firm with 60 percent variable costs?
An increase of $1.50 |
||
An increase of $0.60 |
||
An increase of $2.50 |
||
An increase of $3.33 |
Given,
Increase in fixed costs = $1
Variable cost percentage = 60% or 0.60
Solution :-
Increase in break even level of revenues = $1/(1 - variable costs percentage)
= $1/(1 - 0.60)
= $1/0.40 = $2.50
ANSWER : An increase of $2.50
