- The gas division of Power-U-Up plans to introduce a new gas delivery system based on the following accounting information. Fixed costs per period are $4 236; variable cost per unit is $168; selling price per unit is $211; and capacity per period is 450 units. Determine the break-even point as a percent of capacity if fixed costs are increases to $5 577 and variable costs are reduced to 75% of the selling price.
