Answer 1

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 2,600

Explanation:

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Fixed costs= $65,000

Contribution margin per unit= 50*0.5= $25

Break-even point in units= 65,000/25

Break-even point in units= 2,600
