Caribo produces and markets wheelbarrows for the Caribbean market.

The following are estimates relating to its 2019 budget:
Selling Price---------------------------------$1000
Variable cost per wheelbarrow------------$500
Fixed annual cost----------------------------$150000
Nett Profit (After tax)-----------------------$300000
Income tax rate-------------------------------25%
The mid-year review of the income statement revealed that sales were not at the expected level.

For the six months of the year to June 2019, 350 units were sold at the estimated selling price

with variable cost as planned. However, the net profit projection for 2019 would not be

achieved unless management decisions are made. The following mutually exclusive

alternatives were presented to management:
a) The selling price should be reduced by $100. This reduction in selling price will allow

1000 units to be sold for the balance of the year. The budgeted fixed cost and variable

cost per unit will remain unchanged.

b) The variable cost per unit will be reduced by $25 by sourcing less expensive direct

material. Also, the selling price will be reduced by $150 and the expected sales for the

balance of the year is 1200 units.

c) The fixed cost would be reduced by$15000 and the selling price by 5%. Variable cost

will remain unchanged and 1100 units are expected to be sold for the balance of the

year.
Required:

1) Assume that no changes are made to the selling price or costs, calculate the amount of units

that Caribo must sell:
i) To breakeven
ii) To attain the estimated net profit
