Endorphins, Inc. is debating whether to change its cost structure so that variable costs increase from $4 per unit to $5 per unit but fixed costs decrease from $400,000 to $300,000. The current level of sales is 100,000 units.
(T or F) If the sales price is $8 per unit, Endorphins’ the new cost structure will not change the break-even point.
Current Situation | Proposed situation | |
Sales price | $ 8 | $ 8 |
Less: | ||
Variable cost | $ 4 | $ 5 |
Contribution margin | $ 4 | $ 3 |
Fixed cost | $ 4,00,000 | $ 3,00,000 |
Break-even point | 100000 | 100000 |
Hence Statement is TRUE | ||
Formula : Break even point = fixed cost / contribution margin |
