Required:

Calculate Cove's new break$-$even point under each of the following independent scenarios:

a$.$ Sales price increases by $$1\mathrm{.}60$ per cake.

b$.$ Fixed costs increase by $$495$ per month.

c$.$ Variable costs decrease by $$0\mathrm{.}45$ per cake.

d$.$ Sales price decreases by $$0\mathrm{.}70$ per cake.
