A 10% discount on the selling price is proposed. If the company maintains the original price, how many units must it sell to break even, and what happens to the break-even point if the 10% discount is implemented?
- 1The original break-even point is 40,000 units and the discount will decrease it to 35,000 units.
- 2The original break-even point is 26,667 units and the discount will have no effect because fixed costs are constant.
- 3The original break-even point is 16,000 units and the discount will decrease it to 14,000 units.
- 4The original break-even point is 40,000 units and implementing the discount will increase it to 53,334 units.✓
