sales€revenuetotal costfixed costsales = ?

A shop has fixed costs of €20 000 per year. Its variable costs are 70% of sales revenue. What sales revenue S does it need per year to break even?

F = €20 000variable costs = 70% · S
S = €
2.Easy
Q€revenuetotal costfixed cost1600

A product sells for €16 per unit. The variable cost is €4 per unit and the fixed costs are €24 000 per month. Find the monthly profit Π when 1 600 units are sold (a loss is negative).

p = €16v = €4F = €24 000Q = 1 600
Π = €
3.Medium
Q€revenuetotal costfixed costQ = ?

A product sells for €11 per unit with a variable cost of €6 per unit. Fixed costs are €12 500 per month. How many units Q must be sold per month to make a profit of €6 000?

F = €12 500p = €11v = €6profit = €6 000
Q = units
4.Medium
Q€revenuetotal costfixed costQ = ?

A product sells for €22 with a variable cost of €18 per unit. Fixed costs are €3 200 per month and profit is taxed at 25%. How many units Q must be sold per month to earn €1 500 after tax?

p = €22v = €18F = €3 200T = 25%after-tax profit = €1 500
Q = units
5.Hard
Q€revenuetotal costfixed cost12 500+20%%ΔΠ = ?

A company sells 12 500 units at €27 each, with a variable cost of €12 per unit and fixed costs of €75 000. By what percentage %ΔΠ does operating profit change if sales volume rises by 20%?

Q = 12 500p = €27v = €12F = €75 000%ΔQ = +20%
%ΔΠ = %
6.Hard
F = €12 600, Q = ?sales mix2 × Ap = €13v = €103 × Bp = €22v = €10

A company sells two products. Product A sells for €13 with a variable cost of €10; product B sells for €22 with a variable cost of €10. They sell in a fixed mix of 2 units of A for every 3 of B. Fixed costs are €12 600 per month. Find the total number of units Q (A and B together) needed to break even.

pA = €13, vA = €10pB = €22, vB = €10A : B = 2 : 3F = €12 600
Q = units

Answer key

  1. 1. S = 66667 €
  2. 2. Π = −4800 €
  3. 3. Q = 3700 units
  4. 4. Q = 1300 units
