Calculation of break even point: | |||||
Break even point= Fixed cost/ contribution per unit | |||||
Fixed cost=10000+50000+40000=$100000 | |||||
Variable cost per unit= 4+0.10+3.40=$7.50 | |||||
Contribution per unit= sale price- variable cost per unit | |||||
= 10-7.50=$2.50 | |||||
Break even point=100000/2.5=40000 units | |||||
Break even point is 40000units | |||||
when units are 30000 then: | |||||
Contribution per unit= Fixed cost/break even point | |||||
=100000/30000= $3.33 | |||||
Sale price= Variable cost per unit+ contribution per unit | |||||
=7.50+3.33=$10.83 | |||||
Sale price is $10.83 |
