(a) What is the monthly break-even point in units sold and in sales dollars?

Respuesta :

The monthly break-even point in units sold and sales in dollars are 12,200 units and $488,000 respectively.

The Breakeven point in units sales can be calculated using the below-mentioned formula,

[tex]Break−Even Point In Units Sales = Fixed Expenses / Contribution Margin Per Unit[/tex]

Now, by using the specified values in the aforementioned calculation, we obtain,

[tex]Break−Even Point In Units Sales = $146,400/$12[/tex]

= 12,200 units

To calculate the Breakeven point in dollars we first have to calculate the contribution margin ratio.

The Contribution margin ratio can be calculated using the below-mentioned formula

[tex]Contribution Margin Ratio = \frac{Contribution Margin Per Unit}{Selling Price Per Unit} * 100[/tex]

Now, by using the specified values in the aforementioned calculation, we obtain,

[tex]Contribution Margin Ratio = \frac{12}{40} * 100[/tex]                                    

= 30%

[tex]Break−Even Point In Dollars = Fixed Expenses/Contribution Margin Ratio[/tex]

Now, by using the specified values in the aforementioned calculation, we obtain,

Breakeven point in dollars = [tex]$146,400/30 Percent[/tex]                                          = [tex]$146,400/0.30[/tex]                                          

= $488,000
