MC Qu. 131 At Midland Company's break-even point... At Midland Company's break-even point of 9,000 units, fixed costs are $180,000 and variable costs are $540,000 in total. The unit sales price is:

selling price per unit = $80

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Company's break-even point of 9,000 units

Fixed costs are $180,000

Total variable costs= $540,000

First, we will calculate the unitary variable cost:

Unitary variable cost= 540,000 / 9,000

Unitary variable cost= $60

Now, the unitary selling price, using the following formula:

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

9,000 = 180,000 / (selling price per unit - 60)

9,000selling price per unit - 540,000 = 180,000

9,000selling price per unit = 180,000 + 540,000

9,000selling price per unit = 720,000

selling price per unit = 720,000/9,000

selling price per unit = $80

$80

Explanation:

The first step is to find the variable cost

= 540,000/9000

= 60

Therefore the unit sales price can be calculated as follows

= 180,000/90,000+60

= 20+60

= $80

Hence the unit sales price is $80
