A shop has fixed costs of €90 000 per year. Its variable costs are 70% of sales revenue. What sales revenue S does it need per year to break even?

F = €90 000variable costs = 70% · S
S = €

Q€revenuetotal costfixed costQ = ?

A company sells a product for €40 per unit. The variable cost is €30 per unit and fixed costs are €25 000 per month. How many units Q must it sell per month to break even?

F = €25 000p = €40v = €30
Q = units
3.Medium
Q€ABQ = ?

A product can be made in two ways. Method A has fixed costs of €15 000 per year and a variable cost of €25 per unit. Method B, more automated, has fixed costs of €17 400 per year and a variable cost of €22 per unit. At what yearly volume Q do both methods cost the same?

FA = €15 000vA = €25FB = €17 400vB = €22
Q = units

Q€revenuetotal costfixed costQ = ?

A product sells for €12 per unit with a variable cost of €4 per unit. Fixed costs are €16 000 per month. How many units Q must be sold per month to make a profit of €10 000?

6.Hard
F = €22 000, Q = ?sales mix4 × Ap = €18v = €101 × Bp = €42v = €30

A company sells two products. Product A sells for €18 with a variable cost of €10; product B sells for €42 with a variable cost of €30. They sell in a fixed mix of 4 units of A for every 1 of B. Fixed costs are €22 000 per month. Find the total number of units Q (A and B together) needed to break even.

pA = €18, vA = €10pB = €42, vB = €30A : B = 4 : 1F = €22 000
Q = units
