Explanation / Answer

A. the break even point= Fixed cost/contribution

contribution is sales - variable cost

here 200-4=196

BEP units = 400000/196

=2041unitsApprox rounded of

B. When DVD cost gone down that means now total varable cost s 1.4+2=3.4 and contrbution is 200-3.4 = 196.6


NEW BEP units is =440000/196.6

=2238 units APPROX


For earning 40000 profit in current situation Formula is

(Fixed cost + profit )/Contribution

440000+40000/196.6

2442.5 units Approx


You can cross check

selling price 2442.5*200

=488300

Variable cost =2442.5*3.4

=8300

And fixed cost is 440000

So total cost will be 448300
