d. Chicago Publishers produces and sells new textbooks to college and university bookstores. Assume typical project-level costs total $285,000 for a new textbook. Production and distribution costs amount to 20% of the net amount the publisher receives from the bookstores. Textbook authors are paid a royalty of 15% of the net amount received from the bookstores.

-Determine the dollar sales volume required for Chicago to break even on a new textbook. This is the amount the bookstore pays the publisher, not the bookstores sales revenue. Note: Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.

-For a project with predicted sales of 10,000 new books at $125 each, determine

1. The bookstores unit-level contribution.

2. The publishers project-level contribution.

3. The authors royalties.
