Answer:

A) to calculate the break even point we can use the following:

break even point = fixed costs / contribution margin

break even point = 125,000 / (9 - 6.5) = 125,000 / 2.5 = 50,000 units

The company must sell over 50,000 units to make a profit

B) if the unit production costs increase 10%, the new unit cost will be $7.15, and the new break even point will be: 125,000 / (9 - 7.15) = 125,000 / 1.85 = 67,567.6 which we round up to 67,568 units.

Now the company must sell at least 67,568 units to make a profit

C) If the company wants to increase its product price to a level where the break even point is 50,000 units, then the new price should be $9.65.

The contribution margin must be $2.5, so if the production costs are $7.15, we just add $2.5 to get $9.65 per unit.

From the given data

Service Revenue=$943,000

Interest Revenue=$127,1000

Now The expenses are given as

Supplies Expense=$349,200

Depreciation Expense=$60,350

Rent Expense=$ 31,800

Total Expense=Supplies Expense+Repairs and Maintenance Expense+Depreciation Expense+Rent Expense=$699650

So the income before tax is given as

Income=Total Revenue-Total Expense

Income=$1070100-$699650

Income=$370450

So the income before tax is $370450.

Now the tax is estimated at 30% as given tax rate as

Tax=Rate*Income

Tax=30%*$370450

Tax=$111135

So the income tax is $111135.

Now the Net income is given as

Net Income=Income-Tax

Net Income=$370450-$111135

Net Income=$259315

So the Net Income is $259315.
