Two alternative locations have been identified:

Bonham:

fixed costs of  $820,000

variable costs of $15,000

Mckinney:

fixed costs of $920,000

variable costs of $13,900

1) Bonham= 820,000 + 15,000*x

Mckinney= 920,000 + 13,900*x

820,000 + 15,000x= 920,000 + 13,900x

1,100x= 100,000

x= 91 units

2) Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Bonham:

Break-even point= 820,000/(28,000 - 15,000)= 63 units

Mckinney:

Break-even point= 920,000/(28,000 - 13,900)= 65 units
