What would happen to the break-even point if the selling price was raised to $34 but variable costs rose to $20 a unit? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Explanation / Answer

A) gain = 10,000*(24 - 10) - 165,000 = -25,000

loss = 25,000

B) gain = 20,000*(24 - 10) - 165,000 = 115,000

c) i) break even point = 165,000/14 = 11,786

ii) break even point = 165,000/(34-10) = 6875

iii) break even point = 165,000/(34 - 20) = 11,786
