Consider the following information for a big-screen television distributor:
Sales price per TV = $1,500
Variable costs per TV = $1,100
Fixed costs per year = $120,000
Depreciation per year = $20,000
Tax rate = 35%
How many units must the distributor sell in a given year to break even (in terms of accounting profit)?
Selling price= $1,500 per TV
variable cost= $1,100 per TV

Fixed Cost + Depreciation= $140,000 =120000+20000
Therefore, Breakeven units= 350 =140000/400
