The annual fixed cost is $15,000 for this process, direct labor is $3.50 per package, and material is $4.50 per package. The selling price will be $12.50 per package. a. What is the break-even point in units? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Roundup your answer to the next whole number.) Break-even point units b. How much revenue do we need to take in before breaking even? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.) Break-even point $

Explanation / Answer

Analysis: Fixed Cost = $ 15000

Direct Labor = $ 3.50

Material = $ 4.50

Selling Price = $ 12.50

a) Break even point in units =    Fixed Cost   

Selling Price per unit - Variable Cost per unit

= $ 15000

  $12.50 - $3.50 - $4.50

= 3334 Units

b) Break Even Point in Dollers = Sales Price per unit * Break even point in units

= $12.50 * 3334 Units

= $ 41675
