2. Break-even analysis assumes that:

· The average variable expense per unit is constant.
· Total costs are constant.
· The average fixed expense per unit is constant.
· Variable expenses are nonlinear.

3. If Q equals the level of output, P is the selling price per unit, V is the variable expense per unit, and F is the fixed expense, then the break-even point in units is:

· F ÷ (P-V)
· Q ÷ (P-V)
· V ÷ (P-V)
· F ÷ [Q(P-V)]

	Contribution Margin	Variable Costs
Option A	Higher	Higher
Option B	Lower	Higher
Option C	Higher	Lower
