1. What is the company's overall break-even point in dollar sales?

a. What is the break-even point in unit sales for each product? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. If the company sells exactly the break-even quantity of each product, what will be the overall profit of the company? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
