Answer:

  • Break-even point=5000 units
  • Loss = $45,000

Explanation:

Profits are the sales made after the break-even point.

The break-even point = Fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Fixed costs= £200,000

Contributions margin per unit = Selling price - variable cost

= £45 - £5

=£40

Break even point = £200,000/£40

Break-even point=5000 units

At break-even, profit or loss is equal to zero

At 1000 units, the loss will be units x selling price

=1000 x $45

=$45,000
