a. A firm is considering adding a second secretary to answer phone calls and make appointments. The cost of the secretary will be $10/hour and she will work 200 hours each month. If each new client adds $400 of profit to the firm, how many clients must the secretary arrange for the firm to break even? (3 points)

b. A product is currently made in a process-focused shop, where fixed costs are $9,000 per year and variable cost is $50 per unit. The firm sells the product for $200 per unit. What is the break-even point for this operation? What is the profit (or loss) on a demand of 200 units per year? (3 points)

c. A firm produces three products. Product A sells for $60; its variable costs are $20. Product B sells for $200; its variable costs are $120. Product C sells for $25; its variable costs are $10. Last year, the firm sold 1000 units of A, 2000 units of B, and 10,000 units of C. The firm has fixed costs of $320,000 per year. Calculate the break-even point of the firm. (4 points)
