Caso Bill French

This document discusses Bill French's assumptions in using breakeven analysis and presents calculations for multiple products. It summarizes: 1) Bill French assumed there is one breakeven point and a linear relationship between total revenue and expenses. 2) Breakeven units are calculated as fixed costs divided by contribution margin per unit. Calculations are shown for products A, B, C. 3) Breakeven analysis can determine if a product's contribution margin makes it worthwhile to produce. Product C at $2.40 was deemed unprofitable.

Case 6-3 Bill French Answers

1. Bill French has assumed that there is only one breakeven point for the firm.
Another thing he assumed, is that there will be a constant sales mix, hence
total revenue and total expenses will have a linear relationship.
2. Breakeven number of units=Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit,
Contribution margin per unit=selling price-variable cost per unit.

3. Beakeven analysis can be used in deciding wether or not to alter the existing

5. It helps comprehend and see the relationship between cost. It can be used to set
sales target or conclude what prices will generate profit. Also it helps us see which
products are better than others.
