b. Determine for 2013 (1) the unit variable cost and (2) the unit contribution margin.

c. Compute the break-even sales in units for 2013.

d. Compute the break-even sales in units under the proposed program.

e. Determine the amount of sales in units that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $2,495,625 of income from operations that was earned in 2013.
