Answer:

b. 26,000 units

Explanation:

We will calculate break even point as;

Break even point = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin per unit

Where,

Fixed costs = $525,000 + $125,000 = $650,000

Also, Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

Selling price per unit = $50

Variable expense per unit

= 50% × $50

= $25

Contribution margin per unit

= $50 - $25

= $25

Therefore, the break even point in units

= $650,000 ÷ $25

= 26,000 units
