Boise Timber Co. computes its break-even point strictly on the basis of cash expenditures related to fixed costs. Its total fixed costs are $6,500,000, but 10 percent of this value is represented by depreciation. Its contribution margin (price minus variable cost) for each unit is $9. How many units does the firm need to sell to reach the cash break-even point?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The cash break even point of the company is 650,000 units.

Step by step solution

Depreciation

$\begin{array}{rcl} Depreciation & = & 10 % of fixed cost \\ = & $ 6, 500, 000 脳 10 % \\ = & $ 650, 000 \end{array}$

Cash break even point

$\begin{array}{rcl} Cash break even point & = & \frac{Fixed cost - Depreciation}{(Revenue per unit - Variable cost per unit)} \\ = & \frac{$ 6, 500, 000 - $ 650, 000}{$ 9} \\ = & 650, 000 units \end{array}$
