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.)
Okay thank you very much sir ?
You are welcome 🙂
