2. Determine the break-even level using the above table and use the following Equation to confirm the break-even level of output.

PQB = FC + VQB

PQB - VQB = FC

Q(P-V) = FC

Q= FC

        P-V

3. What would happen to the total revenue schedule, the total cost schedule, and the break-even level of output if management determined that fixed costs would be $10,000 instead of $6,000?
