accounts

b.  How much revenue per account would be sufficient for Rotelco to break even if the number of accounts remained constant? Round to the nearest dollar.
$ per account

Cost of revenue $11,700 Selling, general, and administrative expenses 9,300 Depreciation 3,200

Explanation / Answer

COst of revenue=11700

Fixed=2925

Variable=8775

Selling, general, and administrative expenses=9300

Fixed=5580

variable=3720

Break even subscribers=(2925+5580+3200)/[(29200-8775-3720)/100]

=70

Break even subscribers=11705/(revenue per unit-124.95)

revenue per unit=117.05+124.95

=242
