Answer:

33,793 pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

The annual break-even sales level for the number of pizzas sold in the location is computed using the break-even sales units formula below:

break-even sales=fixed costs/contribution margin per pizza

fixed costs=$245,000

contribution margin per pizza=selling price-variable cost

selling price=$12.50

variable cost=selling price*42%

variable cost=$12.50*42%

variable cost=$5.25

contribution margin per pizza=$12.50-$5.25 =$7.25

break-even sales=$245,000/$7.25 = 33,793 pizzas
