    formula for calculating break even point in absorption costing
    How do I calculate the break even point in units and sales dollars using absorption costing.
    Sales price $16,000 per unit
    Fixed cost per unit $2,500 (total fixed $7,500,000 per month)
    variable cost per unit = $9,800

    denominator volume is 3,000 units
    no beginning or ending inventory
    Produced 3,200 units in Jan and $2,400 units in February

    Im getting a negative number for January, can this be correct?

    Thanks.
