Answer:

The current BEP is                             727 units

with the proposed change it will be 875 units

The change increase the break even point by 148 units

Where:

Sales \: Revenue - Variable \: Cost = Contribution \: Margin

40 - 18 = 22 contribution margin

then we calcualte BEP

16,000 / 22 = 727,27 units

<u>with the proposed change:</u>

40 - 16 = 24 contribution margin

16,000 + 5,000 = 21,000 fixed cost

21,000 / 24 = 875

875 - 727 = 148
