Suppose a firm produces and sells Apply watchbands with these
values:
total fixed costs of $248,500; variable cost per unit = $18; and
selling price per unit = $49. What is the firm's break-even
quantity?
Break even quantity = Fixed costs/ Contribution per unit
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit = $49 - $18 = $31
Break even quantity = $248,500/ $31 = 8,016 units
