Respuesta :

The fixed cost is $85,000.

The variable cost per unit is $7.25.

What are the cost functions?

A fixed cost is a cost that does not change with the level of output of the good produced. Variable cost is the cost that changes with the level of output. Contribution margin is selling price per unit les variable cost per unit. Breakeven point is the point where total selling price is equal to total cost price.

Variable cost = $2.10 + $0.15 + $5 = $7.25

Contribution margin = selling price - variable cost

$30 - $7.25 = $22.75

Break-even point = $85000 /  $22.75 = 3736.26

Profit = selling price - cost price

$75,000 = (30y) - ($85,000 + 7.25y)

Where y is the number of units

$75,000 = 22.75y - 85,000

$160,000 = 22.75y

y = 7033
