    Becca is setting up a baking business. She has developed recipes for chocolate brownies and chocolate truffles.

    The following standard cost information is available:

    Chocolate brownies $/unit Chocolate truffles $/unit
    Selling price 3.00 4.00
    Direct materials:
    – Flour 0.40 0.50
    – Other – eggs, fats etc 0.20 0.30
    Direct labour 0.60 0.80
    Variable overhead 0.30 0.45
    Fixed overhead 0.90 0.80
    ____ ____
    Profit per unit 0.60 1.15
    ____ ____
    Budgeted production 1,000 units per week 3,000 units per month

    The question: Becca has decided to bake only chocolate brownie to begin with. How many chocolate brownie would becca need to sell per annum to Breakeven.
    The answer (0.90 * 52000) + (0.80*36000)= $75600
    Contribution for brownies = 3-0.40-0.20-0.60-0.30=1.50$.
    BEP = 75600/1.50= $ 50400.
    how to get this 52000 i dont understand where he gets that, can you explain please.

    They budgeted on producing 1,000 units a week. There are 52 weeks in a year, and so they are budgeting on producing 52,000 a year.

    (For truffles, the budgeted on producing 3,000 units a month. There are 12 months in a year, so they are budgeting on producing 36,000 a year.)
