Question

Scott is a self-employed plumber and his wife, Emily, is a full-time employee for the University. Emily has health insurance from a qualified plan provided by the University, but Scott has chosen to purchase his own health insurance rather than participate in Emily's plan. Besides paying $5,400 for his health insurance premiums, Scott also pays the following expenses associated with his plumbing business:
Plumbing tools and Supplies $ 1,300

Rent on Scott's plumbing shop $ 6,250

Transportation between Scott's Shop and various job Sites $ 500

Plumber's uniform $ 50

Plumbing truk rental $7,200

Self employment tax (1/2 is employer share) $ 400


What is the amount of deductions for AGI that Scott can claim this year (2013)?

Explanation / Answer

Answer:3

At 11000 units level:

Total variable cost = Material cost + wages cost

=(11000 units * $3) + (11000 units * $30 /10) = $66000

Total Fixed cost   = $23000 +$15000 = $38000

Hence

Total Cost per unit = (66000 + 38000) / 11000 = $9.45 Per unit

Selling price is $9.50 per unit

So now it shall be profitable because selling price is more than the total cost per unit.
