Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total fixed cost and the total unitary variable cost:

Total fixed cost= salaries + utilities + depreciation + maintenance

Total fixed cost= 7,500 + 1,000 + 1,100 + 2,940

Total fixed cost= $12,540

Total unitary variable cost= 24 + 46

Total unitary variable cost= $70

As the unitary contribution margin is negative (65 - 70), the company will never break even. I will assume that the selling price is incorrect, and the room costs $85:

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

Break-even point in units= 12,450 / (85 - 70)

Break-even point in units= 830
