Kay graduated from MCC and decided to start her business selling Teenie$-$Tinee$-$Tots clothing. She intends to later create her own line to compete with the brand Osh$-$Kosh $($Mi Gosh! meaning overpriced$).$ However, her immediate concern is to stay in business for the very shortterm. She has rental expense of $$2,000,$ insurance of $$750,$ and salaries and wages of $$1,750.$ The average selling price of her merchandise is $$25,$ and variable costs will be about $$10.$

Consider that she wants to figure out her monthly budget and profitability, answer the following:

a$.$ How many pieces must she sell to breakeven? Show computation.

$(2$ points$)$

b$.$ What would be the dollar value of the number of pieces? Show computation.

$(2$ points$)$

c$.$ Using the graph paper provided, draw the cost$-$volume$-$profit graph. Label each line. $(6$ points$)$

d$.$ If she wants to make a target profit of $$7,500,$ how many pieces must she sell? Show computation.

$(2$ points$)$

e$.$ If Kay sells only $200$ units, she would realize an operating loss. What would be the amount of her loss? Identify the relevant points on the graph and use a dotted line to identify the relationships.
