Consider the following statements about breakeven:

1. It is the output at which revenue equals total cost.

2. A higher fixed cost raises the breakeven output.

3. A higher selling price raises the breakeven output.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1 and 2 only
  • B.1 and 3 only
  • C.2 and 3 only
  • D.1, 2 and 3

Answer: A

Correct answer: 1 and 2 only

Statements 1 and 2 are right. Statement 3 is the wrong way round: a higher selling price increases the contribution per tonne, so fewer tonnes are needed to cover the fixed costs and breakeven falls.
