Refer back to the original information. Blake has decided to add stadium blankets to his product line. He has found a supplier who will provide the blankets for $32, and he plans to sell them for $60. All other variable costs currently incurred for selling mascots will be incurred for selling blankets at the same rate. Additional fixed costs of $125 per month will be incurred. He believes he can sell one blanket for every four stuffed mascots.
Question 1: How many blankets and stuffed mascots will Blake need to sell each month in order to break even?
