A manager has determined that a potential new product can be sold at a price of $20.00 each. The cost to produce the product is $10.00, but the equipment necessary for production must be leased for $75,000 per year. What is the break-even point?
Group of answer choices
A) 2,500 units.
C) 7,500 units.
D) 10,000 units.
B) 5,000 units.
E) 25,000 units.
| Break-even point = Fixed expenses/Unit Contribution margin |
| Break-even point = 75000/(20-10)= 7,500 units. |

Often a firm will calculate the break-even point for a
price. That is, if we set the price at $X, then how many units will
we need to sell to cover costs (that is, our break-even point).
Work through the following data and questions to gain a better
understanding of this approach.
