A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/11/M/J/23
Question 29 from 9706/11/M/J/23

Explanation

Break-even analysis requires fixed costs, but none are identifiable here

Steps:

  • Identify variable costs per unit: direct material 2.20+directlabor2.20 + direct labor 2.20+directlabor4.20 + variable overhead per unit.
  • Use high-low method for semi-variable overhead: variable rate = (4000−4000 - 4000−2000) / (4000 - 2000 units) = $1 per unit.
  • Calculate fixed overhead: 2000−(2000 - (2000−(1 × 2000 units) = $0.
  • Contribution per unit = 10−(10 - (10−(2.20 + 4.20+4.20 + 4.20+1) = 2.60;break−even=fixedcosts/contributionperunit=2.60; break-even = fixed costs / contribution per unit = 2.60;break−even=fixedcosts/contributionperunit=0 / $2.60 = 0 units.

Not enough information: No fixed costs are provided or derivable beyond the semi-variable overhead (which has $0 fixed component), so break-even output cannot be determined from the given data.

Final answer: Not enough information.
