Question: If a product has a selling price of $100, variable costs of $60, and fixed costs of $10, what is the break-even point in sales dollars?
Options:
Correct Answer: $3000
Solution:
Break-even point in sales dollars = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin Ratio. Contribution Margin = Selling Price - Variable Costs = $100 - $60 = $40. Contribution Margin Ratio = $40 / $100 = 0.4. Break-even Sales = $10 / 0.4 = $25. Therefore, Break-even point in sales dollars = $25 * $100 = $3000.
