1. VCI is considering a shift to digital distribution, replacing DVD production with digital downloads. Calculate the breakeven units (downloads) required given the following data:
Sales/ retail price = $15
Margin of digital distribution retailer = 25% = $15 × 25% = $3.75
Fixed cost = distribution rights + digital poster + advertising
= $100000 + $5000 + $50000
= $155000
Variable cost = retailers margin + royalties = $3.75 + $0.5 = $4.25
Contribution per unit = Sell price - variable cost = $15 - $4.25 = $10.75
Break even units = Fixed cost/contribution per unit
= $155000/$10.75
= 14418.6 units or 14419 units
