Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 9,500 / (28 - 23)

Break-even point in units= 1,900 units

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)=  9,500 / (5 / 28)

Break-even point (dollars)= $53,200

Finally, the fixed costs increase to $10,100:

Break-even point in units= 10,100 / 5

Break-even point in units= 2,020 units

Break-even point (dollars)= 10,100 / (5/28)

Break-even point (dollars)= $56,560
