Expert Solution
Step 1

breakeven formula:

break even=fixed costselling price - variable cost

Step 2

a.

selling price =$150

cost =$70

fixed cost =$100,000

break even=fixed costselling price - variable cost=$100,000$150-$70=1250

 

B.

IF sold 500 glasses:

profit / loss=selling price - variable cost×units sold-fixed cost=$150-$70×500-$100,000=-$60,000

if units sold=4000

profit / loss=selling price - variable cost×units sold-fixed cost=$150-$70×4000-$100,000=$220,000
