Answer 1

Answer:

40,000 units

70,000 units

Explanation:

Price = $36

Variable cost = $30

Fixed Cost = $240,000

Desired Profit = $180,000

Break-even point = Fixed cost / ( Price - variable cost )

Break-even point = $240,000 / ( $36 - $30 ) = 40,000 units

Units required for desired profit = ( fixed cost + Desired profit ) /  contribution per unit

Units required for desired profit = ( $240,000 + $180,000 ) /  $6

Units required for desired profit = 70,000 units
