Answer 1

Answer:

131,250= number of units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

We need to calculate the number of units to be sold to maintain a profit of $175,000.

Unitary variable cost= $3

Fixed expenses= $350,000

Selling price= $7

Net income= total contribution margin - fixed cost

175,000= number of units*(7 - 3) - 350,000

525,000 = number of units*4

525,000 / 4= number of units

131,250= number of units
