Fixed costs for a product are $50,000. The product itself sells for $5.00 and it costs $3.00 to make each product. What is the break-even point for the product?
A) 100,000
B) 10,000
C) 50,000
D) 25,000
Answer: D
Explanation: Plugging in the variables for the equation BE = [TFC/(P - VC)], you get BE = $50,000/(5 - 3), or 25,000 for BE. This means that the company must make 25,000 units of the product to begin making a profit.
