Answer 1

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 6,578 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit $ 240.00

Variable expenses per unit $ 81.60

Fixed expense per month $ 997,920

Desired profit= $44,000

To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (997,920 + 44,000) / (240 - 81.6)

Break-even point in units= 6,578 units
