Answer 1

Answer:

c.208

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this you just have to calculate how much money can they make by selling one clock, so as you can see they sell the clock at $625, and the cost of producing that clock is $164, the profut for each clock is the selling price minus the cost of producing it:

625-164= 461

So now you just have to divide the annual overhead by the profit to see how many clock you need to sell to break even:

96,000/461= 208.24

So Marcy´s company need to sell 208 clocks in order to break even with profits and annual overheads.
