If a business sells four products, it is not possible to estimate the break-even point.

Bryce Co.sales are $914,000, variable costs are $498,130, and operating income is $196,000.What is the contribution margin ratio?

If fixed costs are $850,000 and variable costs are 60% of sales, what is the break-even point dollars?

Match the following terms with their definitions. -Vary in proportion to changes in activity levels

Louis Company sells a single product at a price of $65 per unit.Variable costs per unit are $45 and total fixed costs are $625,500.Louis is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment that would increase the fixed costs to $800,000, but decrease the variable costs per unit to $42. Required: If Louis Company expects to sell 44,000 units next year, should they purchase this new equipment?

Break-even analysis is one type of cost-volume-profit analysis.
