    Answer The correct answer is 8.317 units

    Explanation:

    Firstly, calculate the Total fixed costs = ($2.35+$2.63) * 6800 = $33.864 Fixed Manufacturing and Selling cost

    Secondly, calculate the earnings before taxes 63.000 / (1-tax rate) = 63.000 (/1-0.39) = 103.278.69

    Then, Calculate the Revenue less fixed cost 103.278.69+33.864=137.142,68

    Then calculate the Variable margin that is equal to (Price of sales per unit - Variable manufacturing - Variable selling) = (36.10-14.50-5.11) = 16.49

    Finally divide the revenue less fixed cost on the variable margin (137.142,68/16.49) = 8316.72

    Units Price Total

    Revenue 8,316.72 36.10 300,233.54

    Fixed Manufacturing (15,980.00)

    Variable manufacturing 8,316.72 14.50 (120,592.42)

    Fixed Selling (17,884.00)

    Variable Selling 8,316.72 5.11 (42,498.43)

    Net Revenue 103,278.69

    Tax rate 39% (40,278.69)

    Total 63,000.00
