Answer:

Break-even point (in units)= 3,250 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $33 per unit.

Variable costs are currently​ 40% of sales revenue.

Fixed expenses are​ $68,250 per year.

First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:

Unitary variable cost= 30*0.4= $12

Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point= 68,250/ (33 - 12)= 3,250 units
