Question


I know the numbers in there are correct but I cannot figure out part C.

Calculating Costs and Break-Even [LO3] Night Shades Inc. (NSI) manufactures biotech sunglasses. The variable materials cost is $10.48 per unit, and the variable labor cost is $6.89 per unit. What is the variable cost per unit? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)) Suppose NSI incurs fixed costs of $870,000 during a year in which total production is 280,000 units. What are the total costs for the year? If the selling price is $49.99 per unit, what is the cash break-even point? If depreciation is $490,000 per year, what is the accounting break-even point? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Explanation / Answer

a.The total variable cost per unit is the sum of the two variable costs, so:

Total variable costs per unit = $10.48 + 6.89

Total variable costs per unit = $17.37

b.The total costs include all variable costs and fixed costs. We need to make sure we are

including all variable costs for the number of units produced, so:

Total costs = Variable costs + Fixed costs

Total costs = $17.37(2,80,000) + $870,000

Total costs = $5,733,600

c.The cash breakeven, that is the point where cash flow is zero, is:

QC= $870,000 / ($49.99
