In 2016, teller company sold 3,000 units at $600 each. variable expenses were $420 per unit, and fixed expenses were $270,000. the same selling price, variable expenses, and fixed expenses are expected for 2017. what is teller’s break-even point in sales dollars for 2017?

Respuesta :

Assuming that you have the values for the year 2017, the break-even point would be 1500 units for the year 2017. To calculate this, we use the idea that at the breaking point, total sales is equal to the total cost or expenses made. Which would be:

selling (x) = fixed + variable (x)

x = fixed / (selling - variable)
x = 270000 / (600-420)
x = 1500 units
