Assume the selling price per unit is 30 , the contribution margin ratio is 40% , and the total fixed cost is 60,000 . What is the break-even point in unit sales? a. 2,000 b. 3,000 c. 4,000 d. 5,000

Respuesta :

The break-even point in unit sales is 5000 units assuming the selling price per unit is 30, the contribution margin ratio is 40%, and the total fixed cost is 60,000. Therefore, the correct option is 'd'.

Given,

selling price per unit = 30

contribution margin ratio = 40%

total fixed costs = 60000

Therefore, we have to calculate contribution margin per unit.

contribution margin per unit = contribution margin ratio × selling price per unit

Now, substituting the values in the above formula we get,

the contribution margin per unit = 40% × $30

                                                 = $12

The formula for break-even point in unit sales is as follows

break-even point in unit sales = fixed costs/contribution margin per unit

Now, substituting the values in the above formula we get,                  

break-even point in unit sales = 60000/12

                                               = 5000 units

Hence, the correct option is 'd'.
