Breakeven analysis: Barry Carter is considering opening a music store. He wants to estimate the number of CDs he must sell to break even. The CDs will be sold for $13.98 each, variable operating costs are $10.48 per CD, and annual fixed operating costs are $73,500.A) Find the operating breakeven point in number of CDs. B) Calculate the total operating costs at the breakeven volume found in part A. C) If Barry estimates that at a minimum he can sell 2,000 CDs per month, should he go into the music business?D) How much EBIT will Barry realize if he sells the minimum 2,000 CDs per month noted in part C?

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The operating break even point in number of CD is

= Fixed operating cost ÷ (Selling price per unit - variable operating cost)

= $73,500 ÷ ($13.98 - $10.48)

= 21,000 CDs

b. Now the total operating cost is

= Fixed cost + Quantity × variable cost per unit

= $73,500 + 21,000 CDs × $10.48

= $293,580

c. If he can sell 2,000 CDs per month than annual sale is 24,000 CDs and the break even is exceeded than 3,000 CDs by taking a difference of 24,000 CDs and 21,000 CDs . So, it should go to the CD business

d. Now the EBIT is

= (Selling price × Quantity) - Fixed cost - (Variable price × Quantity)

= ($13.98 × 24,000) - $73,500 - ($10.48 × 24,000)

= $335,520 - $73,500 - $251,520

= $10,500
