sales€revenuetotal costfixed costsales = ?

A shop has fixed costs of €36 000 per year. Its variable costs are 65% of sales revenue. What sales revenue S does it need per year to break even?

F = €36 000variable costs = 65% · S
S = €
2.Easy
Q€revenuetotal costfixed cost750

A product sells for €22 per unit. The variable cost is €18 per unit and the fixed costs are €4 000 per month. Find the monthly profit Π when 750 units are sold (a loss is negative).

p = €22v = €18F = €4 000Q = 750
Π = €
3.Medium
Q€ABQ = ?

A product can be made in two ways. Method A has fixed costs of €10 000 per year and a variable cost of €12 per unit. Method B, more automated, has fixed costs of €15 000 per year and a variable cost of €10 per unit. At what yearly volume Q do both methods cost the same?

FA = €10 000vA = €12FB = €15 000vB = €10
Q = units
4.Medium
Q€ABQ = ?

A product can be made in two ways. Method A has fixed costs of €20 000 per year and a variable cost of €12 per unit. Method B, more automated, has fixed costs of €23 000 per year and a variable cost of €10 per unit. At what yearly volume Q do both methods cost the same?

FA = €20 000vA = €12FB = €23 000vB = €10
Q = units
5.Hard
Q€revenuetotal costfixed costBE

A product sells for €51 per unit, with a variable cost of €45 per unit and fixed costs of €12 000 per year. Budgeted sales are 3 200 units. Find the margin of safety MS as a percentage of budgeted sales.

F = €12 000p = €51v = €45budget = 3 200
MS = %
6.Hard
F = €4 800, Q = ?sales mix3 × Ap = €11v = €81 × Bp = €40v = €25

A company sells two products. Product A sells for €11 with a variable cost of €8; product B sells for €40 with a variable cost of €25. They sell in a fixed mix of 3 units of A for every 1 of B. Fixed costs are €4 800 per month. Find the total number of units Q (A and B together) needed to break even.

pA = €11, vA = €8pB = €40, vB = €25A : B = 3 : 1F = €4 800
Q = units

  1. 1. S = 102857 €
  2. 2. Π = −1000 €
  3. 3. Q = 2500 units
  4. 4. Q = 1500 units
