Alliance Enterprises is considering extensively modifying their manufacturing equipment. The modifications will result in less wastage

of materials, which will reduce variable manufacturing costs and introduce changes to the production process that will improve product

quality. This will allow Alliance to increase the selling price of the product. Annual fixed costs are expected to increase to $$300,000$ if

the modifications are made. Expected fixed and variable costs as well as the selling prices are shown below:

Determine Alliance Enterprises' break$-$even point in units with the existing equipment and with the modified equipment.
