Respuesta :

The computation of the revised break-even point (in units) is given below:

Break-eventpoint = Fixed cost / contribution margin.

= Fixed cost / (selling price - revised variable cost.

= $158,000/ ($20-%10.70)

= $158,000/ $9.3

= %16,989.

Compute the amount of revised variable cost per unit:

revised variable cost = variable cost + incentive commission

= $10 + $0.70

=  $10.70.
