is to add a 50% markup on the unit cost to obtain the selling
price.

In addition, you can determine from the chart that Byron Manufacturing's fixed costs are $6,000 -v and its price per unit is $24.00 V and variable cost per unit is $12.00 If fixed costs increase, what will happen to the break-even point? The break-even point will increase. If the price per unit decreases, what will happen to the break-even point? The break-even point will increase.arrow_forward
