Shawn Pen & Pencil Sets Inc. has fixed costs of $155,200. Its product
currently sells for $7 per unit and has variable costs of $3.80 per unit. Mr. Bic,
the head of manufacturing, proposes to buy new equipment that will cost
$330,000 and drive up fixed costs to $228,000. Although the price will remain
at $7 per unit, the increased automation will reduce costs per unit to $3.00.

intermediate calculations.)
b. As a result of Bic’s suggestion, will the break-even point go up or down?
multiple choice

Proposed break-even point = Fixed costs / (Price − Variable cost per unit)
= $228,000 / ($7 − 3.00)
= 57,000 units
