Patterson Products Inc. is considering an upgrade to its manufacturing equipment. The two upgrade options under consideration are shown below.

	Option 1		Option 2
Direct material cost per unit	$	57.6	$	38.4
Direct labour cost per unit	$	46	$	39
Variable overhead per unit	$	11.6	$	31.4
Fixed manufacturing costs	$	2,060,000	$	3,852,000

The selling price of the companys product is $192 per unit with variable selling costs of 10% of sales. Fixed selling and administrative costs are $3,360,000 per year.

There would be no change to the selling price, variable selling costs, or fixed selling and administrative costs as the result of the manufacturing equipment upgrade.

Required:

1. At what annual number of unit sales would Patterson Products Inc. be indifferent between the two upgrade options?

2. If demand falls short of the indifference point calculated in part (1), which option would be preferred?

• Option 1

• Option 2

3. Calculate the break-even point in unit sales under each upgrade option. (Round your final answers to the nearest whole number.)
