REQUIRED (Consider each question separately.)
1. Calculate the breakeven volume in units and in dollars.

This strategy will require Tocchet to increase its fixed costs, although variable costs per unit will remain the same as before. What is the maximum increase in fixed costs for which Tocchet will find it worthwhile to reduce the selling rice?
3. The manufacturing department proposes changes in the manufacturing process to add new features to the CB1 product. These changes will increase fixed manufacturing costs by $150,000 and variable manufacturing costs per unit by $3.20. At its current sales quantity of 60,000 units, what is the minimum selling price above which Tocchet will find it worthwhile to add these new features?LO1
