Break-even analysis attempts to determine the volume of sales necessary for a manufacturer to cover costs, or to make revenue equal costs. It is helpful in setting prices, estimating profit or loss potentials, and determining the discretionary costs that should be incurred.

The selling price is the MSRP less the dealer discount, and the cost of materials and labor make up the variable cost. In this assignment, you will allocate fixed costs across a portfolio of products and calculate the break-even units for each product A firm's production capacity is 1.5 million units, with annual fixed costs of $3.2 billion for depreciation, plant maintenance, corporate marketing, and general overhead.
