What is the Break Even Point for the business?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2 unit

Explanation:

The break-even point is that point at which a business makes no profit after settling all the necessary fixed cost for the period. It is the point preceding profit making at which costs are recovered

It is calculated by dividing the fixed costs with the sales revenue less the variable cost per unit of an item.

Workings

Fixed cost = 200

Selling price = 150

Variable cost = 50

Break even point = 200/(150-50)

=2 units

Any sales below this ends up in a loss as the fixed cost will not be fully recovered.
