D) 80

Respuesta :

Answer:

correct option is C) 400

Explanation:

given data

selling cost  = $20

Fixed costs = $4,000

variable cost = $10

to find out

how many tickets sell

solution

first we get here contribution per unit that is express as

contribution per unit = selling cost - variable cost    .................1

contribution per unit = $20 - $10

contribution per unit = $10

and

so breakeven unit will be here as

breakeven unit = [tex]\frac{fixed\ cost}{contribution}[/tex]   .............2

breakeven unit = [tex]\frac{4000}{10}[/tex]

breakeven unit = 400 ticket

so correct option is C) 400
