A small business company is considering updating the current production line. There are two plans. For plan A, the fixed cost will be $40,000 and the variable cost will be $27 per unit after the update. For plan B, the fixed costs will be $54,000 and the variable cost will be $26 per unit after the update. Please answer the following questions: (a) Suppose the selling price is $35, what is the break-even volume for each plan

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Plan A:

Fixed costs= $40,000

Unitary varaible cost= $27

Plan B:

Fixed costs= $54,000

Unitary varaible cost= $26

Selling price per unit= $35

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Plan A:

Break-even point in units= 40,000 / (35 - 27)

Break-even point in units= 5,000

Plan B:

Break-even point in units= 54,000 / (35 - 26)

Break-even point in units= 6,000

i guess you could put raise the economic balance
