Fixed costs are \( 8.0 \) million a year, the selling price is \( 4200 \) per tonne and the variable cost is \( 2900 \) per tonne. The breakeven output is

  • A.11268 tonnes
  • B.6154 tonnes
  • C.1905 tonnes
  • D.2759 tonnes

Answer: B

Correct answer: 6154 tonnes

The contribution per tonne is \(4200 - 2900 = 1300\):

\[ Q_{BE} = \frac{8{,}000{,}000}{1300} = 6154\ \text{tonnes} \]

Below this output the fixed costs are not covered; above it, every tonne adds 1300 to profit.
