5,000 units\textbf{5,000 units}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps

To calculate the break-even point in units, we use the formula:

Break-Even Point (Units)=Fixed CostsSelling Price per Unit−Variable Cost per Unit\text{Break-Even Point (Units)} = \frac{\text{Fixed Costs}}{\text{Selling Price per Unit} - \text{Variable Cost per Unit}}
  1. Identify the given values.

    Fixed Costs (FC) = N50,000
    Selling Price per Unit (SPU) = N20
    Variable Cost per Unit (VCU) = N10

  2. Calculate the contribution margin per unit.

    The contribution margin per unit is the difference between the selling price per unit and the variable cost per unit.

    Contribution Margin per Unit=SPU−VCU\text{Contribution Margin per Unit} = \text{SPU} - \text{VCU} Contribution Margin per Unit=N20−N10=N10\text{Contribution Margin per Unit} = \text{N}20 - \text{N}10 = \text{N}10
  3. Substitute the values into the break-even point formula.

    Break-Even Point (Units)=N50,000N10\text{Break-Even Point (Units)} = \frac{\text{N}50,000}{\text{N}10}
  4. Calculate the break-even point.

    Break-Even Point (Units)=5,000 units\text{Break-Even Point (Units)} = 5,000 \text{ units}

    The break-even point in units is 5,000 units\textbf{5,000 units}.
