To be profitable, a firm must recover its costs. These costs include both its fixed and its variable costs, One way that a firm evaluates at what stage it would recover the invested costs is to calculate how many units or how much in dolliar sales is necessary for the firm to earn a profit. Consider the case of Blue Mouse Manufacturers: Blue Mouse Manufacturers is considering a project that wall have fixed costs of \\( \\$ 12,000,000 \\). The product wil be sold for \\( \\$ 37.50 \\) per unit; and will incur a variable cost of \\( \\$ 12.80 \\) per unit. Given Btue Mouse's cost structure, it will have to sell units to break even on this project (QBE). Blue Mouse Manufocturers's marketing sales director doesn't think that the market for the firm's goods is big enough to sell enough units to make the company's target operating profit of \\( \\$ 25,000,000 \\). In fact, she believes that the firm will be able to sell only about 200,000 units. However, she aiso thinks the demand for Blue Mouse Manufacturers's product is relatively inclartic, so the firm can increase the sale price. Assuming that the firm can sell 200,000 units, what price must it set to meet the CFO's EBIT gaal of \\( 525,000,000 \\) ? \\( \\$ 197.80 \\) per unit \\( \\$ 227.47 \\) per unit \\( \\$ 247.25 \\) per unit \\( \\$ 247: 25 \\) per unit \\( \\$ 207.69 \\) per unit What affects the firm's operating break-even point? Several factors affect a firm's operating break-even point. Based on the scenarios described in the following table, indicate whether these factors would increase, decrease, or leave unchanged a firm's break-even quantity-assuming that only the isted factor changes and al other relevant factors reinain constant. When other things are held constant, the higher ofirm's operating leverage, the will be its business risk
