The round-trip tickets will be sold for $200 each and the airline intends to reimburse Ruben for any unsold ticket packages. Fixed costs include $5,200 in advertising costs. How many ticket packages will Ruben need to sell to break even

Respuesta :

Answer:

He would need to sell 130 ticket packages to break even

Explanation:

Breakeven quantity are the number of  units produced and sold at which net income is zero

Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit

Variable cost is cost that varies with output. If output is zero, no variable cost would be incurred.  

Fixed cost is cost that does not vary with output.

[tex]\frac{5200}{200 - 160}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5200}{40}[/tex] = 130
