a) The break-even point in units per month can be calculated as:
Break-even point (units) = Fixed costs ÷ (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit)
Break-even point (units) = £8,000 ÷ (£26 - £16)
Break-even point (units) = 800 units
b) The break-even sales revenue per month can be calculated as:
Break-even sales revenue per month = Break-even point (units) x Selling price per unit
Break-even sales revenue per month = 800 units x £26
Break-even sales revenue per month = £20,800
c) The estimated profit per month if Bookmark Limited makes and sells 3,500 units of the product can be calculated as:
total revenue = Selling price per unit x Number of units sold
Total revenue = £26 x 3,500
Total revenue = £91,000
Total variable cost = Variable cost per unit x Number of units sold
Total variable cost = £16 x 3,500
Total variable cost = £56,000
Total contribution margin = Total revenue - Total variable cost
Total contribution margin = £91,000 - £56,000
Total contribution margin = £35,000
Total fixed cost = £8,000
Total profit = Total contribution margin - Total fixed cost
Total profit = £35,000 - £8,000
Total profit = £27,000
Therefore, the estimated profit per month if Bookmark Limited makes and sells 3,500 units of the product is £27,000.
d) If Bookmark Limited increases the selling price by £1, the new selling price per unit will be £27.
the new break-even point (units) can be calculated as:
New break-even point (units) = Fixed costs ÷ (New selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit)
New break-even point (units) = £8,000 ÷ (£27 - £16)
New break-even point (units) = 727.27 units (rounded up to the nearest whole unit)
Therefore, the impact of the £1 increase in selling price would reduce the break-even point by 73 units per month.

A)

BEP=fixed costs/(sales revenue per unit - variable costs per unit)

8000/(26-16)=800

B） break-even sales = break even unit x price=800x26=20,800

C) profit=revenue-variable costs-fixed costs=3,500x26-3,500x16-8000=27,000

D) new BEP=fixed cost/(new revenue-variable costs)

=8000/(27-16)=727.27=728

Activity 2
Q2:
a)BEP=FIX COST / CONTRIBUTINO=
8000/(26-16)=800UMITS
b)BEP sales=800units *26=20800
c)Estimated profit =revenue -cost
=3500*26-(3500*16+8000)
=27000
d)NEW BEP=8000/(27-16)=727
and it will decrease
