Answer:

8000

$30,000

d.18,000

Explanation:

Breakeven quantity are the number of  units produced and sold at which net income is zero

Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit

Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g, rent, mortgage payments

Fixed costs = $100,000  + $20,000 = $120,000

Variable costs are costs that vary with production

variable costs per unit = $15 + $10 = $25

Price = $40

Break even quantity = $120,000 / $40 - $25 = 8000

Profit = total revenue - total cost

Total revenue = price x quantity sold

$40 x 10,000 = $400,000

Total cost = fixed cost + total variable cost

total variable cost = variable cost per unit x quantity sold

$25 x 10,000 = $250,000

total cost = $250,000 + $120,000 = $370,000

Profit = $400,000 - $370,000 = $30,000

C.

Price = $35

quantity = x

profit = $60,000

$60,000 = $35x - ($120,000 + $25x)

solving for x

$180,000 = $10x

x = 18,000
