Currently, the unit selling price of a product is $350, the unit variable cost is $290, and the total fixed costs are $780,000. A proposal is being evaluated to increase the unit selling price to $390. Required:
a. Compute the current break-even sales (units).
b. Compute the anticipated break-even sales (units), assuming that the unit selling price is increased to the proposed $390, and all costs remain constant.

Solution :

a).

                                                           = $ 350 - $ 290

                                                            = $60

The current break even sales =

                                                 = 13,000 units

Therefore, the current break-even sales (units) = 13,000 units

b). The Contribution Margin Ratio = Selling Price Per Unit - Variable Cost Per Unit

                                                       = $390 - $290

                                                      = $ 100

                          = 7,800 units.

So, the answer is 7800 units.
