Snow Cap Company has a unit selling price of $250, variable costs per unit of $170, and fixed costs of $160,000. Compute the break-even point in units using (a) the mathematical equation and (b) unit contribution margin.

Respuesta :

The break-even point in units using the mathematical equation  is 2,000 in units and the unit contribution margin is 80 per unit.

Break even points in units

a. Break-even point in unit

Using this formula

Break-even point in unit=Fixed cost/(Selling price-Variable cost)

TC = FC + VC

Sales - TC = Net Income

Sales - TC = 0

Sales - FC - VC = 0

2500(Q)-160,000-170(Q) = 0

80(Q)-160,000 = 0

80(Q)=160,000

Q=160,000/80

Q=2,000 break-even in units

b. Unit contribution margin

Unit contribution margin = Selling price- Variable cost

Unit contribution margin= $250 - $170

Unit contribution margin =$80 per unit

Inconclusion the break-even point in units using the mathematical equation  is 2,000 in units and the unit contribution margin is 80 per unit.
