- Miko Firm is assessing its cost structure. It has P680,000 in fixed operating costs, P5.80 in variable costs per unit produced, and its goods sell for P9.00 per unit. What is the company's breakeven point, or the point at which profits equals costs in terms of unit sales volume? * Your answerarrow_forwardA company's fixed operating costs are $740,000, its variable costs are $2.25 per unit, and the product's sales price is $4.65.

- CVP analysis, margin of safety. Suppose Morrison Corp.’s breakeven point is revenues of $1,100,000. Fixed costs are $660,000. Required: Compute the contribution margin percentage. Compute the selling price if variable costs are $16 per unit. Suppose 75,000 units are sold. Compute the margin of safety in units and dollars.

What are the most likely reasons for this risk to increase?arrow_forwardBlossom Footballs, Inc., management expects to sell 15,000 balls this year. The balls sell for $105 each and have a variable cost per unit of $71. Fixed costs, including depreciation and amortization, are currently $180,000 per year. How much can either the fixed costs or the variable cost per unit increase before the company has a negative EBIT.

The operating cash flow is $46,500 in this case. Ignore the effect of taxes. a. What are fixed costs?

Those fixed costs add up to RM 60,000. Their product is the widget. Their variable costs associated with producing the widget are raw material, factory labor, and sales commissions. Variable costs have been caleulated to be RM 0.80 per unit. The widget is priced at RM 2.00 each. (i) Determine the break-even point? Let's say you find a way to cut the cost of your overhead or fixed costs by reducing your own salary by RM10,000, calculate the new breakeven point. (ii) (iii) Market research has shown that customers will pay RM 3.00 for it, and your sales team is confident that they can sell at least 50,000 units per month. Determine whether the product is financially viable and calculate the profit the company makes according to the forecasting sales.arrow_forward
