Breakeven sales is the quantity sold at which net income is equal to zero.

Breakeven sales = fixed cost / (price per unit - variable cost per unit )

$1,215,000 / ($80 - $35) = 27,000

If Highway 55 Studios can reduce fixed expenses by $60,750, variable cost =

27,000 = ($1,215,000 - $60,750) / ($80 - V)

27,000 = 1,154,250 / ($80 - V)

V = $37.25

Variable cost would increase by : $37.25 - $35 = 2.25
