Answer
(a) 3858 Units
(b) 4372 Units
Explanation
SP = Selling price per unit = $150 per unit
VC = Variable cost per unit = $80 per unit
TFC = Total Fixed Cost = $270,000
(a) Break-Even Point (Units) = Fixed Costs ÷ (Revenue per Unit – Variable Cost per Unit)
= $270,000 ÷ ( $150 per unit - $80 per unit )
= 3857.14 ≅ 3858 Units
(b)
x = Number of units
TR = Total Revenue = $150x
TC = Total Costs = Total Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost
TC = $270,000 + $80x
Target Profit = $36,000
Total profit = Total Revenue - Total Costs
36000 = 150x - ( 270000 + 80x)
306000 = 70x
x = 4371.42 ≅ 4372 Units
