Answer:

417 units

Explanation:

The formula to compute the break-even point in units is shown below:

= (Fixed expenses ) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)

where,

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

So, the break-even point in units is

= ($5,000) ÷ ($20 - $8)

= $5,000 ÷ $12

= 417 units

So, the 417 units is to be sold for break-even
