Four companies calculate their fixed costs per period of production, and their variable costs per unit of product during the period. Each company sets a selling price and calculates the number of units of product that must be manufactured and sold in order to break even.They tabulate their results, as follows:
Company A Company B Company C Company D
Fixed costs per period 1,200,000 1,170,000 ? 2,960,000
Variable costs per unit of product 720 210 925 ?
Selling price 780 249 1,099 349
Number of units for break even 20,000 ? 22,250 80,000
Company A has fixed costs per period of £1,200,000, variable costs per unit of £720, and sets a selling price of £780. They calculate the number of units for break even as 20,000 units.
Calculate:
(a) The profit made by company A on production and sales of 28,000 units per period.
(b) The number of units for break even for company B.
(c) The fixed costs per period of company C.
