Answer:

c. It will increase.

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of activity at which a firm neither makes a profit nor a loss.

<em>Break - even units = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit </em>

therefore,

<u>Existing break-even point in units :</u>

Break - even units = $16,000 ÷ ($40 - $18) = 727.27 or 728 units

<u>New break-even point in units :</u>

Break - even units = $21,000 ÷ ($40 - $16) = 875 units

Conclusion :

The results show that break-even point in units will increase from 728 units to  875 units as a result of the changes
