Explanation:

1. Break even point in units

= Fixed cost / Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

Given that

Fixed cost = $600,000

Selling price per unit = $375

Variable cost per unit = $300

Break even point in units = $600,000 / ($375 - $300)

= $600,000 / $75

= 8,000 units

2. Break even in sales

= Fixed cost / Selling price unit - Variable cost per unit × Selling price per unit.

=[ $600,000 / ($375 - $300) ] × $375

= 8,000 × $375

= $3,000,000
