Answer:

An increase in the unit (per pill) contribution margin.

Explanation:

Breakeven point is defined as the level of sales where total cost is equal to total revenue.

The formula is given as

Breakeven= Fixed cost ÷ (Sales revenue -Variable cost)

Note the Sales revenue less variable cost is the contributing margin.

Breakeven= Fixed cost ÷ Contributing margin

To reduce breakeven we must either reduce the numerator or increase the denominator.

In this case an increase in contributing margin will result in a decrease in breakeven amount of the company.
