Question 1
Brandeis, Inc. sells rhombus-shaped widgets and generates $1,000,000 in sales revenue for 2019. If profit is $195,000, variable costs per unit are $25, and sales volume is 25,000 units, then the break-even point must be:
A. |
10,000 units |
|
B. |
12,000 units |
|
C. |
12,500 units |
|
D. |
15,000 units |
|
E. |
None of the above. |
Let us calculate fixed cost | |||
Sales revenue | $ 10,00,000 | ||
Less: | |||
Variable cost | $ 6,25,000 | ||
($25*25000 units) | |||
Contribution margin | $ 3,75,000 | ||
Less: Profit | $ 1,95,000 | ||
Fixed cost | $ 1,80,000 | ||
Contribution margin per unit | |||
sales price per unit | $ 40 | ||
($1000000/25000 units) | |||
Less: | |||
Variable cost per unit | $ 25 | ||
Contribution margin per unit | $ 15 | ||
Break-even Point In Unit = Fixed Cost/ Contribution Margin Per Unit | |||
= $180000/15 | |||
=12000 units | |||
Correct Option : B | |||
