Answer:
1. BEP Company 470,000
2. BEP North 220,000
3. BEP South 110,000
Explanation:
The formula for BEP( Break even point)
Break even point in dollars = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio , where
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales revenue
To get started, Contribution margin ratio needed to be calculated.
North CMR = 120,000/400,000
= 0.3
South CMR = 120,000/ 200,000
= 0.6
Company = 240,000/600,000
= 0.4
Therefore, BEP(Dollars)
BEP(Dollars) = Fixed cost/ Contribution margin ratio
North = 66,000 / 0.3
= 220,000
South = 66,000 / 0.6
= 110,000
For the company, we will need to add common and segmented fixed cost;
Common fixed cost. 56,000
Segmented fixed cost 132,000
Total fixed cost 188,000
= 188,000 / 0.4
= 470,000
