Q€revenuetotal costfixed costQ = ?

A company sells a product for €16 per unit. The variable cost is €4 per unit and fixed costs are €12 000 per month. How many units Q must it sell per month to break even?

F = €12 000p = €16v = €4
Q = units
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 €20 per unit. Method B, more automated, has fixed costs of €14 000 per year and a variable cost of €16 per unit. At what yearly volume Q do both methods cost the same?

FA = €10 000vA = €20FB = €14 000vB = €16
Q = units

Q€revenuetotal costfixed costQ = ?

A product sells for €11 with a variable cost of €6 per unit. Fixed costs are €7 500 per month and profit is taxed at 20%. How many units Q must be sold per month to earn €4 000 after tax?

F = €12 800, Q = ?sales mix2 × Ap = €19v = €153 × Bp = €28v = €20

A company sells two products. Product A sells for €19 with a variable cost of €15; product B sells for €28 with a variable cost of €20. They sell in a fixed mix of 2 units of A for every 3 of B. Fixed costs are €12 800 per month. Find the total number of units Q (A and B together) needed to break even.

pA = €19, vA = €15pB = €28, vB = €20A : B = 2 : 3F = €12 800
Q = units
