Answer:

10,000 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the break-even point

Using this formula

Break-even point = Fixed cost / [Selling Price - Cost Price]

Let plug in the formula

Break-even point = $75,000 / [$25 - $17.5]

Break-even point = $75,000 / [$7.5]

Break-even point = 10,000 units

Therefore the break-even point is 10,000 units
