Question

In 2019, Waterway Industries sold 3000 units at $250 each. Variable expenses were $165 per unit, and fixed expenses were $780000. The same variable expenses per unit and fixed expenses are expected for 2020. If Waterway cuts selling price by 4%, what is Waterway's break-even point in units for 2020?

a) 9559
b) 9176.
c) 10000.
d) 10400.

Answer 1

d) 10400.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the break even point in units is shown below:

Break even point in units is

= Fixed cost ÷ contribution margin per unit

= $780,000 ÷ ($250 × 96% - $165)

= $780,000 ÷ ($240 - $165)

= $780,000 ÷ $75

= 10,400 units

hence, the correct option is d. 10,400 units

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
