Chapter 19, Problem 19.1CP

To determine

Break-even Point: It refers to a point in the level of operations at which a company experiences its revenues generated is equal to its costs incurred. Thus, when a company reaches at its break-even point, it reports neither an income nor a loss from operations. The formula to calculate the break-even point in sales units is as follows:

$\text{Break-even}\text{point}\text{in}\text{Sales}\left(\text{units}\right)=\frac{\text{Fixed}\text{Costs}}{\text{Contribution}\text{Margin}\text{per}\text{unit}}$
