Explanation / Answer

the demand is for 1,000,000 units selling price is $1.29, variable cost is $0.60, then BEP is

BEP= Fixed cost/ (selling price- variable cost)

= 300,000/ 1.29-0.6= 300,000/0.69= 434,783 units

the demand is for 1,000,000 units selling price is $1.29, variable cost is $0.60, the additional promotions cost is

$600,000

Now the total fixed cost becomes as= 600,000+300,000= $900,000

BEP= Fixed cost / (selling price- variable cost)

BEP= 900,000/ 1.29-0.60= 900,000/0.69= 1,304,347 units
