Question

Moon Company sells Product Q at $6 a unit. In 20XO fixed costs are expected to be $200,000 and variable costs are estimated at $4 a unit. How many units of Product Q must Moon sell to generate operating income of $40,000

Answer 1

Break-even point in units= 120,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $6

Unitary variable cost= $4

Fixed costs= $200,000

Desired profit= $40,000

To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (200,000 + 40,000) / (6 - 4)

Break-even point in units= 120,000
