Question 1

Sales $250,000; Variable production costs $150,000; Fixed production costs $30,000; Gross profit $70,000; Fixed admin costs $50,000; Profit $20,000. What is the break-even point in sales revenue?

  • $100,000
  • $170,000
  • $200,000✔️
  • $230,000
Correct Answer Explanation

Option C ($200,000) is correct.

Contribution = $250,000 − $150,000 = $100,000; CS ratio = 40%

Total fixed costs = $30,000 + $50,000 = $80,000

Break-even sales = $80,000 ÷ 0.40 = $200,000
