Question: Jay Linoleum Company has fixed costs of $70,000. Its product currently sells for $4 per unit and has variable costs per unit of $2.60.

Although the price will remain at $4 per unit, the increased automation will reduce variable costs per unit to $2.25. As a result of Thomas's suggestion, will the break-even point go up or down?
