E–2 The Great Fish Taco Corporation currently has fixed operating costs of $15,000, sells its premade tacos for $6 per box, and incurs variable operating costs of $2.50 per box. If the firm has a potential investment that would simultaneously raise its fixed costs to $16,500 and allow it to charge a per-box sale price of $6.50 due to better-textured tacos, what will the impact be on its operating breakeven point in boxes? Given : FC1= $15,000 P1= $6 per unit VC= $2.5 per unit
QO.B.E = FC (P - VC) QO.B.E = 15,000 (6 – 2.5) QO.B.E 1= 4285.7 units
Given : FC2= $16,500 P2= $6.5 per unit VC= $2.5 per unit
QO.B.E =
FC (P - VC)
QO.B.E = 16,500 (6.5 – 2.5) QO.B.E 1= 4125units
QO.B.E 1= ??
QO.B.E 2= ??
Impact of changes in fixed operating cost and in price per unit on operating breakeven point: QO.B.E 1 = 4285.7 > QO.B.E 2 = 4125 which means that even though there was an increase in fixed operating costs that have a positive effect on breakeven point in case 2, but there was also an increase in price per unit that have a negative effect on breakeven point, and the negative effect had a larger impact than the positive …show more content…
