If the fixed costs are $450,000, the unit selling price is $75, and the unit variable costs are $50, what are the old and new break-even sales (units) if the unit selling price increases by $10

Old break even points= 18,000 units

New break even points= 12,857 units

Explanation:

The fixed costs are $450,000

The unit selling price is $75

The unit variable costs are $50

The unit selling price have an increase of 10 units

The first step is to calculate the contribution margin per unit

Contribution margin per unit= Selling price per unit-Variable cost per unit

= $75-$50

= $25 per unit

The old break even point can be calculated as follows

= Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit

= $450,000/$25

= 18,000 units

Since there is an increase in the unit selling price by $10 per unit then, the contribution matgin per unit can be calculated as follows

= $25+$10

= $35

Therefore, the new break even point can be calculated as follows

= $450,000/$35

= 12,857 units

Hence the old break even point and new break even point are 18,000 units and 12,857 units respectively

if you use only 25 for your entertainment and only 200 for the groceries that you really need and take out the 50 per month for the computer then that should be enough

the third answer is correct.
