Explanation / Answer

Dear Student Thank you for using Chegg Please find below the answer and please give thumbs up   Statementshowing Computations Paticulars Amount a) Selling price per unit                 24.00 Variable cost per unit               (14.00) Contribution per unit = 24 - 14                 10.00 No of units           5,000.00 Total contribution = 5000*10         50,000.00 Fixed costs    (175,000.00) Gain (Loss) = 50000 - 175000    (125,000.00) 17000 Units Contribution per unit = 24 - 14                 10.00 No of units         17,000.00 Total contribution = 17000*10       170,000.00 Fixed costs    (175,000.00) Gain (Loss) = 170000 - 175000         (5,000.00) b) Contribution per unit                 10.00 Fixed costs       175,000.00 Break even point in units= 175000/10         17,500.00 c) Selling price per unit                 35.00 Variable cost per unit               (14.00) Contribution per unit = 35 - 14                 21.00 Fixed costs       175,000.00 Break even point in units= 175000/21                 8,333 d) Selling price per unit                 35.00 Variable cost per unit               (23.00) Contribution per unit = 35 - 23                 12.00 Fixed costs       175,000.00 Break even point in units= 175000/12               14,583
