Answer: Break-even point in units= 20,000

Explanation:

Break-even point in units= 20,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit= $29.99

Unitary variable cost= $14.25

Fixed costs= $314,800

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 314,800 / (29.99 - 14.25)

Break-even point in units= 20,000
