If the contribution margin per unit is $2 and fixed costs total $1,000, how many units must be sold to break even? 10 1000 500 100
500 Reason: Break-even point in units= Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit $1,000/$2=500 units
Assume the sales price is $10 per unit, variable cost is $5 per unit, and fixed cost is $2,000. How would the break-even point in units change if the variable cost increased to $8 per unit? Increase by 400 units Increase by 1,000 units Increase by 600 units.
Increase by 600 units. Breakeven = Fixed Cost / (Sales Price per unit - Variable Cost per unit) Breakeven when variable cost is $5 = 1,000 units Breakeven when variable cost is $2 = 400 units 600 unit increase

Calculate contribution margin per unit assuming sales price is $15 per unit and variable cost is $15 per unit. 21 6 0 9 15
0 Reason: Contribution Margin per unit = Sales Price per unit - Variable cost per unit.
Customers are sometimes willing to pay a premium price for the right to use a new product first. a prestigious brand name. a product in low demand.

How does increasing fixed cost affect the break-even point? Increases the number of units to break-even Has no affect on the break-even point Decreases the number of units to break-even
Increases the number of units to break-even
How does reducing fixed cost affect the break-even point? Increases the number of units to break-even Reduces the number of units to break-even Has no affect on the break-even point
Reduces the number of units to break-even
If the contribution margin is $80,000 and sales are $120,000 what is the contribution margin ratio? 0.76 1.5 0.80 0.67

If the contribution margin ratio is 0.25 and fixed costs total $1,000, what is the break-even point in dollars? 1,000 250 4,000 5,000
4000 Break-even point in dollars = Fixed costs/Contribution margin ratio $1,000/.25=4000 dollars
If the contribution margin per unit is $200 and fixed costs total $1,000, how many units must be sold to break even? 100 10 50 5
5 Reason: Break-even point in units= Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit $1,000/$200=5 units
If the contribution margin per unit is $2 and fixed costs total $0, how many units must be sold to earn a profit of $100? 98 50 0 100
