NUBD Manufacturing is considering dropping a product line. It currently produces a multipurpose woodworking clamp in a simple manufacturing process that uses special equipment. Variable costs amount to P6.00 per unit. Fixed factory overhead costs, exclusive of depreciation, have been allocated to this product at a rate of P3.50 a unit and will continue whether or not production ceases.

If production of the clamp is stopped, the special equipment can be sold for P30,000; if production continues, however, the equipment will be useless for further production at the end of one year and will have no salvage value. The clamp has a unit sales price of P10. Ignoring income tax effects, the minimum number of units that would have to be sold in the current year to make it worthwhile to keep the equipment (on a cash-flow basis) is:
