Project Focus PJ would like you to determine how many bikes Mountain Cycle needs to sell per year to break even (Profit =0). Solve using the followings.

Fixed cost equals $65,000
Variable cost equals $1,575
Unit Bike price equals $2,500

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Break even point in units = Fixed Costs ÷ (Sales price per unit – Variable costs per unit)

Given fixed cost =$ 65000

Variable cost per unit =$1575

Selling price per unit =$2500

Break even point in units= $65000/$2500-1575

=$65000/925

=70.2703

= 70 units

Therefore it would take 70units of sale of products for the company to break-even that is not make loss or profit

Profit/loss =0
