Expert Solution
Step 1

Cost of machine =70000

Annual depreciation =70000/4

Annual depreciation =17500

Fixed cost =40000

Total annual cost =40000+17500=57500

Annual interest =0.155 x 70000

Annual interest =10850

Total annual cost =10850+57500

Total annual cost =68350

Step 2

Total bottles =36500

Variable cost =1.5

Total variable cost =36500×1.5

Total  variable cost =54750

Total cost =variable cost +total annual cost 

Total cost =54750+68350=123100

Total cost =123100

At break even point 

Sales =Total cost 

36500 x sales price =123100

Sales price =3.37
