estimated profit if 15,000 units are sold.
What will be an ideal response?
1) Budgeted selling price = ($9 + $6 + $2 + $3) + {($9 + $6 + $2 + $3) × 75%)} = $35
2) Total fixed costs at 15,000 unit volume: 15,000 × ($3 + $4) = $105,000
3) Contribution margin per unit = $35 ? ($9 + $6 + $2 + $1) = $17
4) Break-even point in units = $105,000 ÷ $17 = 6,177 units (rounded)
Break-even point in dollars = 6,177 units × $35 = $216,195
5) Estimated profit when 15,000 units sold = (15,000 ? 6,177) × $17 = $149,991
