d. Find break-even level of output.
Answers
Given:
Fixed cost (F) = $150
Variable cost (V) = $175
Selling price (p)= $500 per unit
To find:
a. Find the cost function
b. Find revenue function
c. Find profit function
d. Find break-even level of output
Solution:
a. Find the cost function
Cost function (C(x))
C(x) = F + Vx
C(x) = 150 + 175x
b. Find revenue function
Revenue function (R(x))
R(x) = px
R(x) = 500x
c. Find profit function
Profit function (P(x))
P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
P(x) = 500x - (150 + 175x)
P(x) = 325x - 150
d. Find break-even level of output
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Contribution per unit = p - V
Contribution per unit = 500 - 175
Contribution per unit = 325
Break-even output = Fixed costs / Contribution per unit
Break-even output = 150 / 325
Break-even output = 0.462 units
