If variable costs increase what must happen to the number of units required to breakeven?

If variable costs increase, the contribution margin per unit decreases, meaning each unit sold contributes less to covering fixed costs. As a result, a higher number of units must be sold to reach the breakeven point. Consequently, the breakeven quantity will increase to compensate for the higher variable costs.


What is the breakeven price when the quantity or services is 3000 fixed costs 45000 average cost per unit is 150 and required profit is 30000?

You are asking two different questions here. At Breakeven, there is no profit. So the questions are: At what selling price do you breakeven?; and At what selling price do you make a profit of 30,000? The formula is the same for both questions: P = Q(S - C) - F Where P=profit, Q=quantity sold, S=selling price, C=variable cost per unit and F=fixed costs. At breakeven: 0 = 3000(S-150) - 45000 or 3000(S) = 495,000 so S=165 Then, for your given profit: 30,000 = 3000(S-150) - 45000 or 3000(S) = 525,000 so S=175
