Answer 1:
Breakeven point is that level of sales at which the Company is at a No profit no loss situation. This means that the company is able to fully recover its variable cost and fixed cost but nothing above that.
Breakeven point in Unit Sales
Answer to Problem 18P
Solution:
Break-even Point (Unit Sales) = 60,000 units
Explanation of Solution
- Break-even point is computed to calculate the minimum sales that must be achieved to arrive at a no profit no loss situation;
- Break-even point in unit salesis calculated by dividing the Fixed cost with contribution per unit Break-even point in dollar salesis calculated by dividing the Fixed cost with contribution Margin %
- Contribution per unit is Selling price per unit less variable cost per unit.
- Given: Selling Price and Variable cost per unit is readily given
- Formula used:
- Calculation:
Selling Price per unit = $ 58 per unit
Haas Company will have to sell atleast 60,000 units to be able to fully recover its variable as well as fixed cost.
Answer 2
Variable Costing: is also known as Direct costing method. In this method, those costs which vary directly with production are considered in product cost. Fixed Manufacturing Expenses are treated as period cost and not product cost. Selling Expenses (since they do not vary with production), both variable and fixed, are charged off completely in the period in which the expenses get incurred.
Unit product Cost and Income statement for 3 years under variable costing
Answer to Problem 18P
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
- In variable costing, direct material, direct labour and variable manufacturing expenses are considered for unit product cost;
- The income statement under this method requires following computations:
Variable cost comprises of variable cost of goods sold and variable selling expenses
Fixed cost comprises of fixed
- Formulas:
Variable Cost of Goods Sold:
Note: Unit product cost here is unit cost computed as per variable costing.
Answer 3
Absorption Costing: is also known as Full costing method. In this method, those costs which vary directly with production are considered in product cost. Also, fixed Manufacturing Expenses are treated as product cost only. Selling Expenses (since they do not vary with production), both variable and fixed, are charged off completely in the period in which the expenses get incurred.

Answer 4
- Comparison of operating income under variable costing
Explanation of Solution
Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | |
Break Even Unit in Sales | 60,000 | 60,000 | 60,000 |
Actual Sales Quantity | 60,000 | 50,000 | 65,000 |
Net Operating Income | $ - | $(200,000) | $ 100,000 |
Break-even point, actual sales quantity and net operating income have been taken from computations above.
Conclusion:
In Year 1, Actual sales are equal to Break-even which means No profit No Loss situation.
In Year 2, Actual sales are less than Break-even. As such, there is loss under this costing system
