Problem II -

The Brown's Draft Bust Company sells ten different styles of relatively inexpensive football jerseys with identical costs and selling prices. Brown is trying to determine the desirability of opening another store, which would have the following expense and revenue relationships (variable data on a per unit basis, fixed expenses in total):
Variable data: Selling Price $40.00; Cost of Shirt $18.00; Sales Commissions $7.00
Annual fixed expenses: Rent $80,000; Salaries $150,000; Other fixed expenses $70,000

Required (ignore income taxes for all parts):

1. What is the annual breakeven point in dollar sales and units?

2. If 21,000 jerseys are sold, what would be the stores operating income (loss)?
continued

3. Refer to the original data. If Brown decided to do away with sales commissions and increase salespersons salaries by $140,000 per year, what would be the point of indifference, in units, between the two alternatives? That is, at what point would the two operating incomes (current and proposed) be the same?
