Etxuck327 Inc. sells a particular textbook for $39. Variable expenses are $28 per book. At the current volume of 49,000 books sold per year the company is just breaking even. Given these data, the annual fixed expenses associated with the textbook total:

539,000.00  

Explanation:

As per the contribution margin analysis concept, the break-even point is obtained by dividing fixed cost by contribution margin per unit.

For Etuck327,

The selling price is $39

Variable expense is $28

Break-even in units is 49,000 books.

Contribution margin per unit = selling price - variable costs

=$39- $28

=$11

if Break-even = fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit, then

49,000= fixed cost / 11

fixed costs = 11 x 49000

Fixed costs = 539,000.00
