A manufacturing company has the following fixed monthly costs and unit variable costs:

Rent = $2,200

Utilities = $375

Variable costs for materials and assembly = $13.25/unit

Monthly labor = $750

Given is the product is sold at $24.99 per unit

Let the number of units sold be x

Adding total cost = [tex]2200+375+750=3325[/tex]

Equation becomes:

[tex]3325+13.25x=24.99x[/tex]

[tex]11.74x=3325[/tex]

x= 283.21

So, rounding it to nearest whole number we get, 283 units.
