Find the break even point ?
Rent is $10,000. Salaries to be paid is $50,000. Misc. Fixed costs are $40,000.
Raw Materials are $4 per unit. Packaging is $.10 cents per unit. Direct Labor is $3.40 per unit. Sales price is $10.00 per unit.
If annual capacity was 30,000 units, how much would the sales price need to be to break even?
Ans. Calculation of Contribution per unit : (in $)
Sales perice per unit = 10
V/c (4+.10+3.40) = 7.50
Contribution per unit = 2.50
Total Fixed cost (10000+50000+40000) = $100000
Annual Capacity is 30000 units
Calculation of Sales price need to be to break even
Fixed cost = $100000
V/c for 30000unit @7.5 per unit = $225000
Total cost for 30000unit = $325000
Sales price per unit to be charge to be break even = 325000/30000 = $10.8333
Sale price need to be break even if annual capacity is 30000 units = $10.8333
= 90000/2.5 = 36000
