Question

The Abner Corporation, a retail seller of television sets, wants to determine how many television sets it must sell to earn a profit of $10,000 per month. The price of each television set is $300, and the average variable cost is $100. What is the required sales volume if the Abner Corporation’s monthly fixed costs are $5,000 per month?

Answer 1

Answer: 75

Step-by-step explanation:

The required sales volume if the Abner Corporation’s monthly fixed costs are $5,000 per month will be:

Required sales = (Fixed cost + target profit) / (Selling price - AVC)

= (5,000 + 10,000) / (300 - 100)

= 15,000 / 200

= 75

Therefore, the required sales volume is 75.
