Hedge Fun is a landscaping firm that specializes in topiary. It contracts with the owners of 125 local homes and provides its service at an annual fee of $1,300. Its average variable cost is $800, and its annual fixed cost is $28,000. What is the break-even level of output?

Break-even level of output = 56

Explanation:

Given:

Annual Revenue = $1,300

Total Fixed cost = $28,000

Variable cost = $800

Computation of contribution:

Contribution = Sales - Variable cost

Contribution = Revenue - Variable cost

Contribution = $1,300 - $800

Contribution = $500

Computation of Break-even level of output:

Break-even level of output = Total Fixed cost / Contribution

Break-even level of output = $28,000 / $500

Break-even level of output = 56
