Jordan and Taylor are beginning to understand break-even analysis.

Selling price to Yumminess at $10 per tin. The cost is $8 per tin, which includes $6 of direct material and $1.50 of direct labor. Annual manufacturing overhead is estimated at $100,000 for the expected sales of 200,000 tins. Operating expenses are projected to be $80,000 annually.

After looking over the costs for manufacturing overhead and operating expenses, you approximate that 85% of manufacturing overhead and 20% of operating expenses are variable costs.

2. Yumminess wants to feature Chocolate Attack Brownies as a monthly special. The predicted sales volume is 50,000 tins. Yumminess wants Jordan and Taylor to cut their selling pricing by 10%, citing that the volume will more than make up the difference. What will be the break-even point in tins during this sale?
