Answer:

A) break even point in units = total fixed costs / contribution margin

  • total fixed costs = $5,000 + $1,000 = $6,000
  • contribution margin = $150 - $50 = $100

break even point = $6,000 / $100 = 60 attendees

B) if MAPS sells 100 tickets, its total cost = $6,000 + (100 x $50) = $11,000

average total cost per ticket = $11,000 / 100 tickets = $110 per ticket
