Ferkil Corporation manufacturers a single product that has a selling price of $100 per unit. Fixed expenses total $225,000 per year, and the company must sell 5,000 units to break even.

If the company has a target profit of $67,500, sales in units must be:

Multiple Choice

a.6,000 units

b.5,750 units

c.7,925 units

d.6,500 units

d)= 6,500

Explanation:

The break-even point (BEP) is the units of  the product that Ferkil Corporation must sell for it to make no profit or loss.

This units can be determined as follows:

BEP = Total fixed cost + target profit/ selling price - variable cost

So we substitute the variables given into the formula

5000 = 225,000 /(100-X)

5000×(100-X) =225,000

500,000 -5000x = 225,000

(500,000 -225,000)/5000 = x

X= 55

variable cost per unit = $55

Units to sell to achieve a profit 67,500

= (225,000  + 67,500)/(100-55)

= 6,500

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
