Tracey Sales Co. has predicted the following costs for this year for 500,000 units: Manufacturing Selling and Administrative Variable $ 800,000 $250,000 Fixed 1,200,000 300,000 Total $2,000,000 $550,000 What is the markup on variable manufacturing costs needed to break even

Sagot :

Answer: 218.75%

Explanation:

In order to breakeven, the variable manufacturing cost would have to be the same as the fixed costs in addition to the administrative costs.

= Fixed costs + Administrative cost

= 1,200,000 + 550,000

= $1,750,000

Variable cost needs to be $1,750,000

It is currently at $800,000 so it needs to increase by:

= 1,750,000 / 800,000 * 100%

= 218.75%
