Answer 1

a) Profit = Q x (P - VC) - FC = 10,000 x (21 - 11) - 100,000 = $0

Profit = 20,000 x (21 - 11) - 100,000 = $100,000

b) Break-even sales = 10,000 when profit = 0

c) Break even sales = FC / (P - VC) = 100,000 / (32 - 11) = 4,762 units

d) Break even sales = 100,000 / (32 - 27) = 20,000 units
