Fixed costs are $300,000; variable cost is $30 per unit
Fixed costs are $300,000; variable cost is $20 per unit
Fixed costs are $250,000; variable cost is $20 per unit
Fixed costs are $250,000; variable cost is $40 per unit; and variable cost is 30 per unit.
Compute break even points in units and sales dollars for each of the four independent cases
Problem 2- Refer to 1 Bootleg company sales are $1,100,000. Determine the margin of safety in dollars for cases (a) through (d)
