Never took econs, and I know nuts about bizniz. But I'm getting 1844.

 

N = ceil([350000*12*0.3 + 80000*12]/[1400+200-0.05*1400-180-8.5*8-78]) = 1844units.

 

ceil() is the ceiling function.

I'm also getting 1844 units.

 

Interesting fact is, dedicate workforce salary of $80,000 per month.

What will be the size of the company in terms of number of employees?

I got 11.

Shareholders X 3 ($10500)

Salesman X 2 ($2600)

Sales Manager X 1 ($3200)

CS X 2 ($2000)

GM X 1 ($7000)

Accounts (AR/AP) X 2 ($2800).

 

And my breakeven point is 1844 / 52 weeks = Require to produce 35.5 units per week.

35.5 units per week = 7.1 units per day.

7.1units per day = 7 workers.

 

Then my 7 workers are paid $1428 each per month, without CPF, without any incentive.

 

No wonder we need cheap labours.

Alamak.....didn't read the last part properly.

 

so its 153.65 x 12 = 1843.8 units

 

That's all right ? [confused]

Nope, your Fixed cost is wrong, rental you calculated per mth.

Use per year, then you FC will be much higher.

Arrrr.....calling all business guru.

 

Can help see if this break even volume answer is correct bor.

 

Gum sia many many. ^_^

 

Based on formula, break even analysis is fixed cost / (price-variable costs). Your answer seems ok. let us know if otherwise.
