Question

The owner of a greenhouse and nursery is considering whether to spend $6,000 to acquire the licensing rights to grow a new variety of rosebush, which she could then sell for $6 each. Per-unit variable cost would be $3. How many rosebushes would she have to produce and sell in order to break even

Answer 1

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 2,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $6,000

Selling price= $6 each

Unitary variable cost= $3

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 6,000 / 3

Break-even point in units= 2,000
