Jasper Company has variable costs per unit of $20, fixed costs of $300,000, and a break-even point of 60,000 units. What will be the new break-even point in units if variable costs decrease by $3 per unit and fixed costs increase by $100,000?
93,333 units
33,333 units
50,000 units
200,000 units
At the break-even point:
Sales would be equal to total costs.
Contribution margin would be equal to total fixed costs.
Sales would be equal to fixed costs.
Both sales would be equal to total costs and contribution margin would be equal to total fixed costs are correct.
Which of the following statements about a cost-volume-profit graph is correct?
A cost-volume-profit graph is prepared with activity (number of units) on the vertical axis.
The intersection of the total sales line and the total cost line represents the break-even point.
The area above the break-even point represents the area of loss.
The total cost line intersects the vertical axis at the dollar amount of total variable costs.
Joseph Company has variable costs of $80 per unit, total fixed costs of $200,000, and a break-even point of 5,000 units. If the variable cost per unit decreases by $8, how many units must Joseph Company sell to break-even?
2,778 units
2,500 units
6,250 units
4,167 units

First we need to calculate Sales Price: | |||||||
BEP | 60000 | ||||||
Fixed Cost/(Sales Price-VC) | 60000 | ||||||
300000/(SP-20) | 60000 | ||||||

Answer is 50000/- | |||||||
2 | AT Break Even Point: | ||||||
Contribution Margin would be equal to Total Fixed Costs | |||||||
AT BEP Company is at No Profit No Loss Situation | |||||||
3 | The Intersection of the total sales line and the total cost line represents the break even point | ||||||
Where Cost=Sales; No profit or Loss | |||||||
It is the BEP | |||||||
