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
