Answer:

a. Break-even point = Fixed Cost divided by Contribution per unit

= $1,500,000/$19.95

= 75,188 subscribers

b. New break-even point = $1,500,000/$24.95

= 60,120 subscribers

c. Subscriber base = 73,000

less dropped subscribers 10,000

adjusted subscribers = 63,000

The company will still be profitable because it will break-even with 60,120 subscribers.  The excess 2,880 (63,000 - 60,120) subscribers after the break-even point of 60,120 will cause the company to make  some profit.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Fixed cost = $1,500,000 per month

Variable cost $20 per month per subscriber

Charges to customers per month $39.95

Contribution = $39.95 - $20 = $19.95

New variable cost = $25

New monthly charge = $49.95

Contribution per unit = $49.95 - $25 = $24.95
