Roadside Inc's new product would sell for $35.76. Variable cost of production would be $13.48 per unit.  Setting up production would entail relevant fixed costs of $260,683. The project cannot go forward unless the new product would earn a return on sales of 16%. Calculate breakeven sales in UNITS, meeting the profit target. (Rounding: tenth of a unit.)

Assume that the rest of the data is unchanged. Determine a new break-even point and margin of safety in bottles if the selling price change to RM 6 per packet. Assume that all other variables remain constant. please provide calculations for each of them.
