You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1a)ar=25*t ar=25*12k=300k
 ac=9*t
 ac=9*12k+60k=168k
 ap=ar-ac
 ap=25*12k-9*12k-60k
 ap=300k-168k
 ap=132l
 1b)
 25t=60000+9*t
 16t=60000
 be t=3750
 2)31t=60000+9*t
 22t=60000
 t=2727
 The volume needed to break even goes down when the selling price goes up to $31
