Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero

If the sales of a company exceeds the breakeven quantity, the firms is earning a profit.

If the company's sales is less than the Breakeven quantity , the firm is making losses that would not be recouped

Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit

150,000 / (5 -3) = 75000
