Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:12,500 unitsStep-by-step explanation:Given:Selling cost of the pump = $10Variable cost of producing each unit = 60% of selling costorVariable cost of producing each unit Β = 0.60 Γ— $10 = $6Monthly fixed cost = $50,000Now, The profit per unit = Selling cost - Variable cost orThe profit per unit = $10 - $6 = $4Therefore, The breakeven point = [tex]\frac{\textup{Fixed cost}}{\textup{Profit per unit}}[/tex] orthe breakeven point = [tex]\frac{\textup{50,000}}{\textup{4}}[/tex] orthe breakeven point = 12,500 units
