Rather than using the number of units, this method uses total sales revenue. In companies for which the total set of goods produced and sold is more varied, this would be the preferred method, as opposed to a business in which only one product is sold. Assume a company has pricing and cost information as follows: Price and Cost Information Amount Selling Price per Unit $30 Variable Cost per Unit $15 Total Fixed Cost $15,000 For the upcoming period, the company wishes to generate operating income of $40,000.
