New variable cost: | 0.46 $43 | = | $19.78 per unit | |
New fixed expenses: | $1,416,000 + ($11,800 12 months) | = | $1,557,600 | |
New sales price: | $43 1.12 | = | $48.16 per unit |
Sales VC FC | = | $0 |
$48.16x - $19.78x - $1,557,600 | = | $0 |
$28.38x | = | $1,557,600 |
x | = | 54,884 blankets |
54,884 blankets $48.16 | = | $2,643,213 |
