Less variable costs 468,750
Contribution margin $156,250
Less fixed costs 125,000
Profit $ 31,250

1. Calculate the company's break-even point in sales dollars and units.

Calculate the break-even point (in dollars and units) for the new production method.
3. Comment on the difference (if any) in the break-even point for the new production method. What explains the difference in income at sales of 26,000 units between the two production methods?
