How many T-shirts must the company sell this year to break even? (Use the rounded contribution margin per unit calculated in the previous part to calculate Breakeven units. Round Breakeven units to 0 decimal places, e.g. 25,000.)     W Promotions sells T-shirts imprinted with high school names and logos. Last year the shirts sold for $20.00 each, and variable costs were $8.50 per shirt. At this cost structure, the breakeven point was 24,600 shirts. However, the company actually earned $24,840 in net income. This year, the company is increasing its price to $22 per shirt. Variable costs per shirt will increase by 20%, and fixed expenses will increase by $30,980. The tax rate will remain at 40%.
