Lightfoot Company sells its product for $55 per unit and has variable costs of $30 per unit. Total fixed costs are $25,000. Suppose variable costs increase by 10% due to an increase in the cost of direct materials. What will be the effect on the breakeven point in units if variable costs increase by $5 due to an increase in the cost of directmaterials? A. It will increase by 250 units.
B. It will decrease by 167 units.
C. It will decrease by 250 units.
D. It will increase by 167 units.

The Break-even point in units will increase by 250 units.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $25,000

Selling price= $55

Unitary varaible cost= $30

First, we need to calculate the current break-even point in units:

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

Break-even point in units= 25,000 / 25

Break-even point in units= 1,000

Now, the new Break-even point in units:

Break-even point in units= 25,000 / (55 - 35)

Break-even point in units= 1,250

The Break-even point in units will increase by 250 units.
