Management is considering the following course of action to
increase net income: Reduce the selling price by 5%, with no
changes to unit variable costs or fixed costs. Management is
confident that this change will increase unit sales by 10%.
Using the contribution margin technique, compute the break-even
point in units and dollars and margin of safety in dollars:
(Round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places
e.g. 0.2522 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g.
2,510.)
