1. INDIFFERENCE POINT = (FIXED COST A - FIXED COST B) / (VARIABLE COST B - VARIABLE COST A)
FC A = 80000
VC A = 1.3
FC B = 36000
VC B = 2.6
INDIFFERENCE POINT(A TO B) = (80000 - 36000) / (2.6 - 1.3) = 33846
2.FIXED COST = 80000
VARIABLE COST = 1.3
PRICE PER UNIT = 2.6
EXPECTED VOLUME = 70000
PROFIT = UNITS * CONTRIBUTION MARGIN - FIXED COST
PROFIT = (70000 * (2.6 - 1.3)) - 80000 = 11000
3. FIXED COST = 36000
VARIABLE COST = 1.8
PRICE PER UNIT = 2.6
EXPECTED VOLUME = 70000
PROFIT = UNITS * CONTRIBUTION MARGIN - FIXED COST
PROFIT = (70000 * (2.6 - 1.8)) - 36000 = 20000
