Answer:

correct option is C) 400

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

selling cost = $20

Fixed costs = $4,000

variable cost = $10

to find out

how many tickets sell

solution

first we get here contribution per unit that is express as

contribution per unit = selling cost - variable cost .................1

contribution per unit = $20 - $10

contribution per unit = $10

and

so breakeven unit will be here as

breakeven unit =
(fixed\ cost)/(contribution) .............2

breakeven unit =
(4000)/(10)

breakeven unit = 400 ticket

so correct option is C) 400
