Answer:

we can look at this problem from 2 different point of views:

if you have francs and wish to buy pounds: then you take 12 francs and purchase 1 ounce of gold, and then you sell it for 6 pounds. This way you will only spend 2 francs per each pound instead of 2.2.

if you have pounds and want to make a gain: you take 6 pounds and purchase 13.2 francs and you then buy 1.1 ounces of gold. Then you sell the 1.1 ounces of gold in exchange for 6.6 pounds.

Any of the scenarios does not include any transaction prices nor shipping costs, it is only theoretical.

Break-even point in units= 6,547 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit $160

Break-even point in units= (429,490 + 19,000) / (160 - 91.5)

Break-even point in units= 6,547 units
