To determine the break even sales in units, divide total fixed costs by the contribution margin per unit. Contribution margin per unit equals sales price less variable costs.
Here, contribution margin per unit equals $30 each (i.e. $40 less $10). Total fixed costs equal $120,000. Therefore, the break even sales in units would equal $120,000 / $30 or 40,000 units.
1. Breakeven point = fixed cost/ contribution margin ratio contribution margin ratio: (sales - variable cost)/sales Sales = 20000 * 40 = 800000 Less: Variable cost = 20000 * 10 = 200000 Contribution margin = 600000 Contribution margin ratio = 600000/800000 = .75 Breakeven point in dollars = 120000/.75 = $160000 breakeven point in units = 160000 / 40 = 4000
Revenue at BREAK EVEN point is $0.00
The transfer price should be equal to the variable costs of the goods or services, plus the contribution margin per unit that is lost. =variable costs+(selling price-variable costs)
Breakeven point = Fixed cost + EBIT / contribution margin ratio Contribution margin ratio = sales price - variable cost Contribution margin ratio = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5 or 50% Breakeven point = 215000 / .5 = 430000
Break-even analysis is a financial assessment that determines the point at which total revenues equal total costs, indicating no profit or loss. It involves calculating fixed and variable costs, with the break-even point (BEP) expressed in units or sales revenue. The formula for BEP in units is fixed costs divided by the selling price per unit minus variable cost per unit. This analysis helps businesses set sales targets, assess profitability, and make informed pricing and production decisions.

When average variable costs equal to the average marginal cost, the average variable cost will be at the minimum point. i.e. lowest cost

Yes. Actually this means the company has zero gross profit. If on top of variable costs, there are fixed costs, the company will turn a loss.
Contribution margin is computed as sales revenue minus variable expenses
To find 8 percent of a number, multiply the number by 0.08. In this instance, 0.08 x 120000 = 9600. Therefore, 8 percent of 120000 is equal to 9600.

To find 7 percent of a number, multiply the number by 0.07. In this instance, 0.07 x 120000 = 8400. Therefore, 7 percent of 120000 is equal to 8400.

The dollar sales for a company to break even overall, using a segmented income statement, can be calculated by determining the total fixed costs of the company and dividing that by the contribution margin ratio. The contribution margin ratio is derived from the total sales minus variable costs, expressed as a percentage of total sales. Therefore, the break-even sales figure represents the level of sales needed to cover both fixed and variable costs without generating a profit or loss.
