Lablanc Inc. sells a product for $60 per unit. The variable cost is $34 per unit, while fixed cost are $108,160. Determine (a) the break-even point in sales unit (b) the break-even point if the selling price weee increases to $66 per unit.
A product sells for $30 per unit and has variable costs of $15.75 per unit. The fixed costs are $983,250. If the variable costs per unit were to decrease to $14.80 per unit, fixed costs increase to $1,048,800, and the selling price does not change, break-even point in units would:
If this is the Overall break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = $16,650,000 / 64.74% = $25,718,257 approx And if the sales commission increases to 15%, the variable costs will increase thereby the contribution margin will decrease. This will also decrease the contribution margin ratio. When the contribution margin ratio decreases, the break-even point will increase, and when the break-even point increases the margin of safety will decrease. What happens: If Mirabel purchases the new equipment for $1,200,000, it will increase fixed costs by 10% but will decrease the variable cost per unit for all 3 models by 5%. What will Mirabel’s new break-even point be? If Mirabel invests the additional $650,000 in fixed marketing expenses, sales of the Model 301 are expected to increase by 8%. What is the break-even and margin of safety under these circumstances? If the projection is that sales will…
