Answer #1

ANSWER :

the breakeven point in units for Smith Company is 4,167 units (rounded up to the nearest helmet, it is 4,166.6 helmets then rounded to 4,167 helmets).

Explanation :

For the calculation of Break-even point, we only need Fixed Expenses and contribution margin.

Formula for calculation of Break-even Point(in units)

BEP (break-even point) = Fixed Expenses/Contribution margin (per unit)


Given,

Fixed Expenses = $100,000
Contribution margin (per unit) = $24


So,

Break-even Point (in units) = $100,000/$24
= 4,166.66667 units
(rounded up units = 4,167 units)


Answer : The breakeven point in units for Smith Company is 4,167 units.
