what is the new break even point in dollar sales

Refer to the original data. Rather than purchase new equipment, the marketing manager argues that the company's marketing strategy should be changed. Rather than pay sales commissions, which are currently included in variable expenses, the company would pay salespersons fixed salaries and would invest heavily in advertising. The marketing manager claims this new approach would increase unit sales by 30% without any change in selling price; the company's new monthly fixed expenses would be $487,942, and its net operating income would increase by 20%. Compute the company's break-even point in dollar sales under the new marketing strategy. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
