Question

The marvel company is considering whether or not to construct a new robotic production facility. The cost of this new facility is $594,000 and it is expected to have a six-year life with annual depreciation expense of $99,000 and no salvage value. Annual sales from the new facility are expected to be 1,970 units with a price of $930 per unit. Variable production costs are $650 per unit, while fixed cash expenses are $77,000 per year.

The cash break-even units of production is ______ units. Round to the nearest integer.

Explanation / Answer

OK cash break even which means you don't take depreciation into account, so you have 77,000/(930-650)= 275.
