The assumption in breakeven analysis that variable cost is the same per unit at all levels of output is a great simplification. The variable cost per unit will decrease where (1) economies/diseconomies of scale are made at higher volumes of output, but will also eventually rise where (2) economies/diseconomies of scale begin to appear at even (3) higher/lower volumes of output.
A company makes and sells two products, X and Y. The following budget has been prepared.
What is the breakeven point in sales revenue, to the nearest $100?
