The Coffee Express has computed its fixed costs to be $0.34 for every cup of coffee it sells given annual sales of 212,000 cups. The sales price is $1.49 per cup while the variable cost per cup is $0.63. How many cups of coffee must it sell to break-even on a cash basis?
Qcash break-even = ($0.34 × 212,000)/($1.49 - $0.63) = 83,814 cups

The Metal Shop produces 1.8 million metal fasteners a year for industrial use. At this level of production, its total fixed costs are $320,000 and its total costs are $522,000. The firm can increase its production by 5 percent, without increasing either its total fixed costs or its variable costs per unit. A customer has made a one-time offer for an additional 50,000 units at a price per unit of $0.10. Should the firm sell the additional units at the offered price? Why or why not?
Variable cost per unit = ($522,000 - $320,000)/1,800,000 = $0.112 per unit
The marginal cost per unit will be $0.112 since the variable cost per unit will be unchanged. The order should not be accepted since the marginal cost per unit exceeds the offered price. |

Wexford Industrial Supply is considering a new project with estimated depreciation of $26,000, fixed costs of $79,000, and total sales of $187,000. The variable costs per unit are estimated at $11.80. What is the accounting break-even level of production?
Qaccounting break-even = ($79,000 + $26,000)/[($187,000/Q) - $11.80]
Q = 6,949 units |
