c) By determining the contribution margin and projected profits at various levels of production.
ANSWER 13
If a company has variable costs of $40 per unit, fixed costs of $3,000 per month and sells its product for $50, how many units must it sell to break-even
a) 300
Fixed cost= $3000
Contribution p.u= selling price -variable cost
50-40 =10
Breakeven= Fixed Cost/Contribution p.u
3000/10=300 UNITS
ANSWER 14
A company produces two products, A and B. A sells for $16 and has variable costs of $10. B sells for $12 and has variable costs of $8. Fixed Costs for the period are $35,000. Normally four units of A are sold for every two units of B units. How many units of B must be sold if the company expects profits of $50,000?
c) 5313
fixed cost=$35000
Profit = $50000
Total $85000
FOR EVERY 2 UNIT OF B 4 UNIT OF A SOLD
PRODUCT 'A' contribution per unit =16-10=6
'B' contribution per unit =12-8=4
4 unit contribution of A= 4*6=24
2 unit contribution of B= 2*8=8
Total contribution in one batch =24+8=$32
unit produced=$85000/$32=2656 unit
so B unit sold=2656*2= 5313 unit approx
