<span>Diminishing marginal returns - By investing in hiring an additional worker, Michelle does not receive twice the productivity compared to when she had only 1 worker. Productivity only increased by roughly 50%. I would consider the worker to be more of an investment, and thus count as diminishing marginal returns, rather than decreasing returns to scale, which I consider to apply more to assets, such as machines for manufacturing or in the case of the scenario, an additional kiln.</span>
Answer:
285,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the cash break-even point of sales units is shown below:
Cash break-even point = (Fixed cost - depreciation) ÷ (contribution margin per unit)
where,
Fixed cost = $7,600,000
Depreciation = $7,600,000 × 0.25% = $1,900,000
And, the contribution margin per unit is $20
So, the cash break-even point of sales units is
= ($7,600,000 - $1,900,000) ÷ ($20)
= 285,000 units
