Question: A company has a selling price of $150, variable costs of $90, and fixed costs of $30,000. What is the break-even point in sales dollars?
Options:
Correct Answer: $300,000
Solution:
Break-even point (sales dollars) = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin Ratio. Contribution Margin = Selling Price - Variable Costs = $150 - $90 = $60. Contribution Margin Ratio = $60 / $150 = 0.4. Break-even point = $30,000 / 0.4 = $75,000.
