Required:
a. What is the breakeven point in batteries?
b. What is the margin of safety, assuming sales total $60,000?
c. What is the breakeven level in batteries, assuming variable costs increase by 20%?
d. What is the breakeven level in batteries, assuming the selling price goes up by 10%, fixed manufacturing costs decline by 10%, and other fixed costs decline by $100?

a. N= Breakeven units
$30n-$20N- $10,000 - $8,000 =0
$10n-$18,000 = 0
N= $18,000/$10 = 1,800 batteries

b. Margin of safety = $60,000 – ($30 x 1,800)= $6,000

c. N= Breakeven units
$30n-$24n - $10,000 - $8,000=0
$6n- $18,000 = 0
N= $18,000/$6= 3,000 batteries

d. N= breakeven units
$33N - $20n - $9000 - $7,900 =0
$13N- $16,900 =0n = $ 16,900/$13 =1,300 batteries
