Answer 1

Answer:

57 smartphones per day

Explanation:

contribution margin per each smartphone = $132 - $120 = $12

total daily fixed costs = $684

break even point in units = total fixed costs / contribution margin per unit = $684 / $12 = 57 smartphones per day

break even in $ = 57 x $132 = $7,524 total daily sales
