Eaton Tool Company has fixed costs of $200,000, sells its units for $56, and has variable costs of $31 per unit. Compute the break-even point. Ms. Eaton comes up with a new plan to cut fixed costs to $150,000. However, more labor will now be required, which will increase variable costs per unit to $34. The sales price will remain at $56. What is the new break-even point? Under the new plan, what is likely to happen to profitability at very high volume levels (compared to the old plan)? Jay Linoleum Company has fixed costs of $70,000. Its product currently sells for $4 per unit and has variable costs per unit of $2.60. Mr. Thomas, the head of manufacturing, proposes to buy new equipment that will cost $300,000 and drive up fixed costs to $105,000. Although the price will remain at $4 per unit, the increased automation will reduce variable costs per unit to $2.25. As a result of Thomas's suggestion, will the break-even point go up or down? Compute the necessary numbers. Calloway Cab Company determines its break-even point strictly on the basis of cash expenditures related to fixed costs. Its total fixed costs are $400,000, but 20 percent of this value is represented by depreciation. Its contribution margin (price minus variable cost) for each unit is $3.60. How many units does the firm need to sell to reach the cash break-even point
