3 If a firm has fixed costs of $31,000, a price of $9.50, and a breakeven point of 15,500 units, the variable cost per unit is:

Explanation / Answer

A highly automated plant would generally have

Answer: more fixed than variable costs

If the price per unit decreases because of competition but the cost structure remains the same

Answer: the breakeven point rises

If a firm has fixed costs of $31,000, a price of $9.50, and a breakeven point of 15,500 units, the variable cost per unit is:

Answer: BEP=Fixed cost/(Sales-variable cost)

15500=$31000/($9.50-x)

$9.50-x=$2

X=7.50
