Answer:

Break-even point in units= 2,000,000 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company has fixed costs of $10 million for its butyl glove production and unit variable costs of $3 per pair. The company charges $8 per pair.

To determine the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 10,000,000 / (8 - 3)

Break-even point in units= 2,000,000 units
