Parker Pottery produces a line of vases and a line of ceramic figurines. Each line uses the sameequipment and labor; hence, there are no traceable fixed costs. Common fixed cost equals$30,000. Parker’s accountant has begun to assess the profitability of the two lines and has gathered the following data for last year: Required:1. Compute the number of vases and the number of figurines that must be sold for thecompany to break even.2. Parker Pottery is considering upgrading its factory to improve the quality of its products.The upgrade will add $5,260 per year to total fixed cost. If the upgrade is successful, theprojected sales of vases will be 1,500, and figurine sales will increase to 1,000 units. Whatis the new break-even point in units for each of the products?
