Solution

14. Breakeven Quantity can be found as:

Q = Fixed Costs / (Selling Price - Variable Cost)

= $400,000/($9 - $4) = $400,000/$5 = 80,000 units

Option \"C\" is correct.

15. Option \"C\" is correct as this means we can purchase more of dollar for less of euro which makes exports cheaper.

16. SF/Euro = SF/$ x [1/(Euro/$)]

= 1.50SF/$1 x [1/(1.15 Euro/$1)]

= 1.50SF/$1 x $0.87/1 Euro = 1.304SF/1 Euro

Option \"D\" is correct.
