6._ Pascal, Inc. is planning to sell 800,000 units for $1.50 per unit. The contribution margin ratio is 20%. If Pascal will break even at this level of sales, what are the fixed costs?
7._ The Lumber Division of Paul Bunyon Homes Inc. produces and sells lumber that can be sold to outside customers or within the company to the Construction Division. The following data have been gathered for the coming period:
|
Lumber Division:
|

|
Construction Division:
|
|
|
