Troye Corporation has just increased its manufacturing capacity to enable it to introduce new
models of bicycles which it could not produce in the past due to capacity constraints. For the
coming period, Troye is planning to start the production of a new model, which could either
be the For Mountain Bike or For Racing Bike.
A recently concluded feasibility study on the two models showed the following results:

                         Mountain Bike     Racing Bike
Selling price            P4,400                P4,000
Variable Cost           2,640                   2,640

Total fixed costs:
If only Mountain Bike is produced P3,696,000
If only Racing Bike is produced P3,168,000
Projected sales per year -  Between 4,500 to 6,500 of either model

a. What is the peso break-even point of each model of bike? 
b. What is the total peso sales at which Bisikleta would make the same profit or loss regardless of
the bike model it decided to produce?
