a. Calculate Chandler's annual breakeven point in unitsand in sales.

b. Prove your answer in (a) by showing a condensed variable cost income statement.

e. Chandler is considering raising its selling price to $520. Calculate the new breakeven point in units.

f. Chandler has found a new company to produce the trainer guitar at a lower cost of $175. Calculate the new breakeven point in units.
