Compute the break-even number of barrels for the current year. (Note: For the per barrel and variable costs per barrel, round to the nearest cent. Round to place in millions of barrels.) or the selling price Pic one decimal the anticipated break-even number of barrels for the following year. (Round to B. Compute one decimal place in millions of barrels.)

Explanation / Answer

a. Fixed Costs = 31755 - 20566.5 = 11188.5

Break even sales = Fixed Costs/ Contribution per unit

= 11188.5/66.24125

=169 million barrels (rounded off)

b. Fixed Costs for next year = 11188. 5+ 300 = 11488.5

Break even sales = Fixed Costs/ Contribution per unit

= 11488.5/66.24125

= 173 million barrels (rounded off)

Variable Costs Cost of goods Sold
[18756*75%] 14067 Selling,general and administrative
[12999*50%] 6499.5 Total Variable Costs 20566.5 Variable Cost per unit
[20566.5/400] 51.41625
