Sheridan Company sells radios for $50 per unit. The fixed costs are $445000 and the variable costs are 60% of the selling price. As a result of new automated equipment, it is anticipated that fixed costs will increase by $65000 and variable costs will be 50% of the selling price. The new break-even point in units is:

Break-even point in units= 2,600

Explanation:

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

Fixed costs= $65,000

Contribution margin per unit= 50*0.5= $25

Break-even point in units= 65,000/25

Break-even point in units= 2,600
