Respuesta :

Answer:

e. 391,667 units

Explanation:

The computation of break-even point is shown below:-

For computing the break-even point first we need to find out the contribution per unit which is shown below:-

Contribution per unit = Selling price - Variable cost

= $4.00 - $2.8

= $1.2

So, The break-even point = Break even point= Fixed costs ÷ Contribution per unit

= $470,000 ÷ $1.2

= 391,666.66

= 391,667 units
