A ceramics manufacturer sold cups last year for $7.50
each. Variable costs of manufacturing were $2.25
per unit. The company needed to sell 20,000 cups to break
even. Net income was $5,040. This year,
the company expects the following changes: sales price
per cup to be $9.00; variable manufacturing
costs to increase 33.3%; fixed costs to increase 10%; and
the income tax rate to remain at 40%. Sales in
the coming year are expected to exceed last year's sales
by 1,000 units. How many units does the
company expect to sell this year?
a. 21,000
b. 21,600
c. 21,960
d. 22,600
