Hello,

Please clarify the 2nd question. I do not understand what the difference is between Total Sales and New Statement in the Excel table :

Total Sales New Statement Unit Cost Ratio of sales

Blue Company sold 30,000 units of its only product and incurred a $85,000 loss (ignoring taxes) for the current year as shown here. During a planning session for year 2020's activities, the production manager notes that variable costs can be reduced 25% by installing a machine that automates several operations. To obtain these savings, the company must increase its annual fixed costs by $175,000. The maximum output capacity of the company is 55,000 units per year.

1. Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for year 2019.(Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
2. Compute the predicted break-even point in dollar sales for year 2020 assuming the machine is installed and there is no change in the unit selling price.(Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
