Marty used to be a bartender making $5,000 a year but he quit in order to become a clown that does shows at birthday parties. His clown car and costumes cost $7,000 and he did a lot of shows in the past year, making $13,000 in revenue but paying $2,000 in variable costs for balloons, gas, etc. Marty asked an accountant and an economist to calculate his profit. What did they report?
Average fixed cost
A bakery sells pretzels. The fixed costs come to $8,750.00 per month. It will cost 35 cents to make each pretzel, and the bakery will charge $1.50 per pretzel. The bakery must sell 7,609 pretzels in a month to break even. The bakery's owners think they may not be able to sell that many pretzels. If they raise the price to $1.75, what will be the break-even point? Hint: use the Break-even point formula.
