Net Profit                                              6,500             15

 

Now do this activity a second time with a higher selling price.  Calculate break-even at a $7.00 selling price. Using the information from the above income statement, calculate the break-even per unit, the gross margin percent, and the break-even total sales. 

 

Calculate break-even based on units.

Fixed Costs/ (Sales price per unit – Variable costs per unit) = Break Even in Units

 

 

Calculate break-even based on Total Sales.

Gross Margin/ Sales = Gross Margin %

 

 

Fixed Expenses/ Gross Margin % = Break-Even in total sales dollars
