Rice Company has a unit selling price of $730, variable costs per unit of $500, and fixed costs of $208,400. Compute the break-even point in units using (a) the mathematical equation and (b) unit contribution margin. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e. g. 1,225.)

Rice Company

a) Break-even point in units using the mathematical equation = 906 units

b) Break-even point in units using the unit contribution margin = 906 units

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Selling price per unit = $730

Variable costs per unit = $500

Contribution margin per unit = $230 ($730 - $500)

Fixed costs for the period = $208,400

Break-even point in units:

a) Mathematical equation:

(Total Revenue = Expenses at the BEP)/

Profit  =  Selling price  −  Variable Expenses  −  Fixed Expenses

$ 0  =  Unit CM  *  Q  −  Fixed expenses

$ 0  =  $ 230  * Q  −  $208,400

$208,400  =  $230 * Q

=  $230Q = $208,400  

= Q = $208,400/$230

= 906 units

b) Unit contribution margin:

Break-Even point (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ (Sales price per unit – Variable costs per unit)

= $208,400/ ($730 - $500)

= 906 units

one of the disadvantages of getting a government sponsored mortgage is they put a limit on the purchase price of the house. because the government is in charge of the mortage loan and terms, they are able to control how much money they are allowing someone to take out for the loan. not only are they incontrol, it's a lengthy process for a government sponsored mortgage.
