Calloway Cab Company determines its break-even strictly on the basis of cash expenditures related to fixed costs. Its total fixed costs are $440,000, but 20 percent of this value is represented by depreciation. Its contribution margin (price minus variable cost) for each unit is $4.00. How many units does the firm need to sell to reach the cash break-even point? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
If TechCor has fixed cost of $60,000 variable costs of $1.20/unit, a sale price/unit of $7 and depreciation expense of $25,000 what is its cash break even in units?
Shapland Inc. has fixed operating costs of $500,000 and variable costs of $50per unit. If it sells the product for $75 per unit, what is the break-even quantity?
