Before trying to commercialize the device and add it to her existing product line, the she wants reasonable assurance of success. Variable costs are estimated at $8 per unit produced and sold. Fixed costs are about $60,000 per year. a. Forecasted sales for the first year are 15,000 units if the price is reduced to $20. With this pricing strategy, what would be the product's total contribution to profits in the first year? b. If the selling price is set at $30, how many units must be produced and sold to break even?
