Respuesta :

Answer:

The company's break-even point in sales dollars is A. $25,000

Explanation:

The break-even point is the level of production at which the costs of production equal the revenues for a product and calculated by using following formula:

Break-even point in units = Fixed expense/(Selling price per unit-Variable expense per unit)  = $10,000/($100-$60) = $10,000/$40 = 250 units

Break-even point in sales dollars = Break-even point in units x Selling price per unit = 250 x $100 = $25,000

Answer:

A. $25,000

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of production at which the costs incurred in production equal the revenues for a product and calculated by using following formula;

Break-Even Point (sales dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin  ratio

where,

Contribution Margin ratio = (selling Price – Variable Costs)/selling price

Given;

Selling price per unit = $100

variable cost per unit = $60

Fixed cost = $10,000

Contribution margin ratio = ($100 - $60)/$100

= 0.4

Break-Even Point (sales dollars) = $10,000/0.4

= $25,000
