A product that has a list price by the company to be 589 while the variable cost of manufacturing is 340.
1. What is the fixed cost per year that the company can afford to breakeven with sales 9000/year?
2. If the fixed cost of the company is actually 750,000 per year, what is the profit at a sales level of 7000 units?
At the break-even point of 2000 units, variable costs are $55000, and fixed costs are $32000. How much is the selling price per unit?

$43.5
$16
$27.5
