Answer:
(a) 242,500 units
(b) 267,500 units
Explanation:
(a) Break-even point in sales units:
= Fixed costs ÷ (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit)
= $4,850,000 ÷ ($80 - $60)
= 242,500 units
(b) Break even point in sales units if the company desires a target profit of $500,000:
= (Fixed cost + Target profit) ÷ (Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit)
= ($4,850,000 + $500,000) ÷ ($80 - $60)
= $5,350,000 ÷ $20
= 267,500 units
