You have developed the following cost structure information for this company. All of it pertains to an output level of 10 million units. Using this information, find the break-even point in units of output for the firm.

Return on operating assets     = 25%

Operating asset turnover     = 5 times

Operating assets     = $20 million

Degree of operating leverage     = 4 times

Return on Operating Assets = [pic]

Net Operating Income = $20,000,000 × 25%

DOL = [pic]

Contribution Margin = $5,000,000 × 4

Since Net Operating Income = Contribution Margin – Fixed Costs

Fixed Costs = $20,000,000 - $5,000,000

= $15,000,000

Unit Contribution Margin = $20,000,000 / 10,000,000

Breakeven Point in Units = [pic][pic]

Breakeven Point in Units = $15,000,000 / $2
