Burns Industries currently manufactures and sells 18,000 power saws per month, although it has the capacity to produce 33,000 units per month. At the 18,000-unit-per-month level of production, the per-unit cost is $61, consisting of $38 in variable costs and $23 in fixed costs. Burns sells its saws to retail stores for $78 each.
