Let's walk through a set of related CVP analysis problems together to help us get ready for exam time. Just pick one part of the overall question, explain your solution approach and show us your work. Lots of people can contribute sequentially to each part of the overall question, and as always, don't worry if you get something wrong. If you explain what you've done and get it wrong, you'll still get credit for contributing to the discussion...we'll follow up and make sure we get it correct with subsequent postings. Here's the info for our example multipart problem:

Variable costs per unit:
Direct Materials $1

Total variable cost per unit $6
