Wanton’s San Y’isidro Co. manufactures custom door knobs for international clients. Average Revenue is $35 per unit, variable costs are $15 per unit, and total costs are $200,000. If sales are 10,000 units, what is the firm's breakeven sales quantity?

A) 2,500 units.

B) 1,750 units.

C) 3,000 units.

For this problem you need 2 equations.

Break-even quantity = Fixed Costs / (Price - Variable cost)

Q = FC / (P - V)

Fixed Costs = Total Costs - Variable Costs

FC = TC - VC = 200,000 - 150,000 = 50,000

Q = 50,000 / (35 - 15) = 2,500

Jayco, Inc. has a division that makes red ink for the accounting industry. The unit has fixed costs of $10,000 per month, and is expected to sell 40,000 bottles of ink per month. If the variable cost per bottle is $2.00 what price must the division charge in order to breakeven?

A) $2.50.

B) $2.25.

C) $2.75.

---

40,000 = $10,000/(P - $2)
40,000P – $80,000 = $10,000
P = $90,000/40,000 = $2.25.

A) 8,125

B) 40.
