Question 1: At break-even: Unit price = total cost per unit = unit fixed cost + unit variable cost * unit fixed cost = unit price – unit variable cost * unit fixed cost = 4,350 - (550 + 825 + 420 +275) * unit fixed cost = 4,350 – 2,070 = $2,280 Total fixed cost (TFC) = (660 + 770)*3000 = $4,290,000 Volume break-even = TFC/unit fixed cost = 4,290,000/2,280 = 1,882 (units) Sales break-even = 1,882 * 4,350 = $ 8,186,700 Question 2: | Case 1 | Case 2 | Difference | Price ($) | 4,350.00 | 3,850.00 | -500.00 | Quantity (unit) | 3,000.00 | 3,500.00 | 500.00 | Total Revenue | 13,050,000.00 | 13,475,000.00 | 425,000.00 | Variable manufacturing costs ($) | 5,385,000.00 | 6,282,500.00 | 897,500.00 | Variable marketing costs ($) | 825,000.00 | 962,500.00 | 137,500.00 | Fixed manufacturing costs ($) | 1,980,000.00 | 1,980,000.00 | 0.00 | Fixed marketing costs ($) | 2,310,000.00 | 2,310,000.00 | 0.00 | Income ($) | 2,550,000.00 | 1,940,000.00 | -610,000.00 | When monthly volume increases to 3,500 units at the low price of $3,850, the Income decreases to $1,940,000, the variable costs increase. However, revenue and market share would increase. Therefore, we have to consider many factors that affect on monthly sales, costs and income and take action according to specific purpose. Question 3: | Regular Contract | With Government Contract | | | 4000 regular units | Regular | Government | Total | Difference | Price ($) | 4,350.00 | 4,350.00 | | | | Quantity (unit) | 4,000.00 | 3,500.00 | 500.00 | | | Total Revenue | 17,400,000.00 | 15,225,000.00 | 1,420,000.00 | 16,645,000.00 | -755,000.00 | Variable manufacturing costs ($) | 7,180,000.00 |

To guarantee that every employee understood what the change would mean, MasterCard staged the largest single learning event in its history—a series of intensive, 4.5-hour seminars conducted under the name, "Road Map to the Future." The 110 workshops ran in 36 cities, reaching 96 percent of the employee population within a three-week window beginning shortly after the IPO.
