Answer:
(a) 2,125 units
(b) 1,417 units
Explanation:
Given that,
Selling price = $60 per unit
Variable cost = $20 per unit
Fixed costs = $85,000
(a) Contribution margin per unit:
= Selling price - Variable cost
= $60 - $20
= $40
Break-even point in sales units:
= Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $85,000 ÷ $40
= 2,125 units
(b) If the selling price increased to $80 per unit,
Contribution margin per unit:
= Selling price - Variable cost
= $80 - $20
= $60
Break-even point in sales units:
= Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $85,000 ÷ $60
= 1,417 units
