Solution

To calculate the breakeven point in units, we first need to determine the contribution margin per unit. The contribution margin per unit is calculated by subtracting the variable cost per unit from the selling price per unit.

In this case, the selling price per unit has decreased by 10,sothenewsellingpriceis10, so the new selling price is 60 - 10=10 = 50.

The variable cost per unit is $30.

So, the contribution margin per unit is 5050 - 30 = $20.

Next, we divide the total fixed costs by the contribution margin per unit to find the breakeven point in units.

The total fixed costs are $20,000.

So, the breakeven point in units is 20,000/20,000 / 20 = 1,000 units.

Therefore, the breakeven point in units if the sales price per unit decreased by $10 is 1,000 units.
