Cannon Co. has a unit selling price of $500, variable cost per unit $300, and fixed costs of $240,000. Instructions Compute the break-even point (a) in units and (b) in sales dollars. (c) How many units must be sold to earn net income of $60,000.

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cannon Co. has a unit selling price of $500, variable cost per unit $300, and fixed costs of $240,000.

First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units using the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 240,000/ (500 - 300)

Break-even point in units= 1,200 units

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 240,000/ (200/500)

Break-even point (dollars)= $600,000

We can prove it:

Break-even point (dollars)= 1,200*$500= $600,000

Finally, we need to incorporate the desired profit to the break-even point in units:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (240,000 + 60,000) / 200= 1,500 units

(i know i'm late but the answer's "things about yourself" because you want to list things you're capable of, why you want to open up the business, the amount of money you're putting into it,etc.) i'm guessing you take online school small business, the answers to the quizzes are all over quizlet. just look up your question and type quizlet after it and it'll pop up.
