Answer:
(1) 1,400 units
(2) $21,000
Explanation:
Given that,
Selling price = $15 per unit
Variable expense = $12 per unit
Fixed expense = $4,200
Contribution margin per unit:
= Selling price - Variable expense
= $15 - $12
= $3
Contribution margin ratio :
= Contribution margin per unit ÷ Selling price per unit
= $3 ÷ $15
= 0.2 or 20%
1. Break even point:
= Fixed expense ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $4,200 ÷ $3
= 1,400 units
2. Break even point in dollar sales:
= Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin ratio
= $4,200 ÷ 20%
= $21,000
