Respuesta :

Answer:

35,000 units

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Selling price = $2.00 per pair

Variable cost per unit = $1.70

Mason's total fixed costs = $10,500

Now,

Break even in units = ( Fixed cost ) ÷ ( Contribution per unit )

Also,

Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

= $2.00 - $1.70

= $0.30

thus,

Break even in units = $10,500 ÷ $0.30

= 35,000 units
