Answer:
(a)
Mathematical Equation for break-even
F = QP - QV
Where
F = fixed cost
Q = Break-even quantity
P = Selling price
V = Variable cost
F = Q ( P - V )
Q = F / ( P - V )
Q = $327,030 / ( $630 - $300 )
Q = $327,030 / $330
Q = 991 units
(b)
Contribution Margin = Price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Contribution Margin = $630 - $300 = $330
Break-even Point in Units = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin per unit
Break-even Point in Units = $327,030 / $330 = 991 units
Explanation:
Mathematical equation use the the break-even equation which represent the behavior of each element towards the break-even point.
Contribution per unit method use the contribution of each unit to calculate the break-even point.
