A company has two segments with total sales of $500,000 and total variable costs of $343,750. Traceable fixed expenses are $50,000 and common fixed expenses are $80,000. The break even in dollars for the company as a whole equals $ _______. (Enter your answer as a whole number.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

$416,000

Explanation:

The computation of the break even in dollars for the company is given below:

Total fixed expenses = Traceable fixed expenses + Common fixed expenses

= $50,000 + $80,000

= $130,000

Now  

Contribution margin ratio = (Sales - Variable costs) ÷Sales × 100

= ($500,000 - $343,750) ÷ $500,000 × 100

= 31.25%

Now

Break-eve dollars = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= $130,000 ÷ 31.25%

= $416,000
