Answers
1. Given:
Fixed Cost (monthly) = $8,000
Variable Cost = $65.00/table
Selling Price = $180.00/piece
1.b. Z = vp-Cf-Vcv
0 = v(180) – 8,000 – v(65)
0 = 180v – 8,000 – 65v
115v = 8,000
v = 69.57 tables
Explanation: If Willow Furniture Company produces and sells 69.57 tables in a month,
the profit and loss will be zero and the company will breakeven.
