A product sells for €20 per unit. The variable cost is €12 per unit and the fixed costs are €6 400 per month. Find the monthly profit Π when 1 000 units are sold (a loss is negative).

p = €20v = €12F = €6 400Q = 1 000
Π = €

sales€revenuetotal costfixed costsales = ?

A shop has fixed costs of €90 000 per year. Its variable costs are 50% of sales revenue. What sales revenue S does it need per year to break even?

F = €90 000variable costs = 50% · S
S = €

Q€revenuetotal costfixed costQ = ?

A product sells for €35 with a variable cost of €25 per unit. Fixed costs are €20 000 per month and profit is taxed at 20%. How many units Q must be sold per month to earn €10 000 after tax?

p = €35v = €25F = €20 000T = 20%after-tax profit = €10 000
Q = units
4.Medium
Q€ABQ = ?

A product can be made in two ways. Method A has fixed costs of €30 000 per year and a variable cost of €25 per unit. Method B, more automated, has fixed costs of €34 500 per year and a variable cost of €22 per unit. At what yearly volume Q do both methods cost the same?

FA = €30 000vA = €25FB = €34 500vB = €22

6.Hard
F = €8 400, Q = ?sales mix3 × Ap = €18v = €151 × Bp = €42v = €30

A company sells two products. Product A sells for €18 with a variable cost of €15; product B sells for €42 with a variable cost of €30. They sell in a fixed mix of 3 units of A for every 1 of B. Fixed costs are €8 400 per month. Find the total number of units Q (A and B together) needed to break even.

pA = €18, vA = €15pB = €42, vB = €30A : B = 3 : 1F = €8 400
Q = units
