The company sells lawnmowers for $895 each. The variable cost per lawnmower is $520. The company's monthly fixed costs are $84,500. Using the C-V-P equation, compute the amount of profit the company will have for a month in which the company sells 375 lawnmowers.
The company has a variable cost ratio of 65% and monthly fixed costs of $91,000. What is the company's break-even point in terms of sales dollars?
Perrson Company makes two types of backpacks. Data for the company's activity during a typical month are presented below:

Selling expenses per blanket                3
                                                            ----
Variable cost per blanket                     24
                                                            ----
Fixed costs:
