A product sells for €6 per unit. The variable cost is €4 per unit and the fixed costs are €2 400 per month. Find the monthly profit Π when 2 400 units are sold (a loss is negative).

p = €6v = €4F = €2 400Q = 2 400
Π = €

Q€revenuetotal costfixed costBE

A product sells for €55 per unit, with a variable cost of €45 per unit and fixed costs of €10 000 per year. Budgeted sales are 1 300 units. Find the margin of safety MS as a percentage of budgeted sales.

6.Hard
F = €16 200, Q = ?sales mix3 × Ap = €18v = €102 × Bp = €35v = €20

A company sells two products. Product A sells for €18 with a variable cost of €10; product B sells for €35 with a variable cost of €20. They sell in a fixed mix of 3 units of A for every 2 of B. Fixed costs are €16 200 per month. Find the total number of units Q (A and B together) needed to break even.

pA = €18, vA = €10pB = €35, vB = €20A : B = 3 : 2F = €16 200
Q = units

Answer key

  1. 1. p = 4.5 €
  2. 2. Π = 2400 €
  3. 3. Q = 2100 units
  4. 4. Q = 1000 units
  5. 5. MS = 23.08 %
