Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Estimated fixed cost = $288,000

Estimated variable cost = $14 per unit

Units expects to produce and sell = 60,000

Selling price = $20 per unit

We first need to calculate the contribution margin:

Contribution margin per unit:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= $20 - $14

= $6

The break even point in units is the ratio of fixed cost to the contribution margin per unit.

Break-even point in units:

= Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= $288,000 ÷ $6

= 48,000 units
