 Selling Price       $80.00

Variable Costs

    Invoice    $36

    Commission $14

Total Variable     $50

     Rent   $160,000

     marketing   $300,000

  1. Compute the break-even point in units and in dollars using the information given above.
  2. Prepare a CVP graph (break-even chart) and show the break-even point on the graph.
  3. What would be net operating income or loss if company sells 18,500 blouses in a year?
  4. If the manage is paid a commission of $6 blouse (in addition to the salesperson’s commission), what will be the effect on company’s break-even point?
