A. 31,948 pounds
B. 39,889 pounds
C. 32,467 pounds
D. 42,650 pounds

Answer 1

Correct option is B.

Accounting profit break-even point= $39,889

Step-by-step explanation:

Break-even point = fixed expenses / price per unit - variable cost per unit

Fixed expenses = 32500 * 0.6 = 19500

Total fixed expenses = 19500 + 16400 = 35900

Break-even point = 35900 / 3.89 - 2.99 = 35900 / 0.9 = 39889 pounds.

Answer 2

the accounting profit break-even point is B. 39,889 pounds

Break-even Point is the point where an Entity neither makes a profit nor a loss.

Break - Even Point in Quantity = Fixed Costs/ Contribution per Unit

=($16,400 + 32,500 ×$0.60)/ $3.89 - $2.99

= 39,888.88888

= 39,889
