Vendor A as a price of $30 per unit for any volume up to 50k units. Vendor B has a price of $32 per unit for demand of 5k units or less & $28 per unit for larger quantities. ) If selling price per unit is $45 what is the breakeven point. If the manager anticipates an annual volume of 10k units, which alternative would be best from a cost standpoint? Which Alternative would entail the highest profit?
