Math Problem Statement

A firm manufactures a product that sells for ​$12 per unit. Variable cost per unit is ​$7 and fixed cost per period is $ 1800. Capacity per period is 800 units. Perform a​ break-even analysis showing a detailed​ break-even chart.

Solution

Here is the break-even chart based on the information provided:

  • The Total Revenue line starts from the origin with a slope of $12 (revenue per unit).
  • The Total Cost line starts at $1,800 (the fixed cost) and increases by $7 per unit.
  • The break-even point occurs at 360 units and $4,320 in revenue, where the two lines intersect.

Would you like further details or clarification?

Relative Questions:

  1. How would changes in variable costs impact the break-even point?
  2. What happens to the break-even point if fixed costs increase by 10%?
  3. How is profit calculated beyond the break-even point?
  4. If the selling price decreases to $10 per unit, what is the new break-even point?
  5. How do economies of scale affect the break-even analysis?

Tip:

To lower the break-even point, you can reduce fixed costs, increase the selling price, or reduce variable costs.
