Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Price per unit = $150,000 ÷ 15,000 units = $10 per unit
Variable expense per unit = $120,000 ÷ 15,000 units = $8 per unit
($10 per unit - $8 per unit)× Quantity sold - $8,000 > $0
($10 per unit - $8 per unit)× Quantity sold > $8,000
$2 per unit × Quantity sold > $8,000
Quantity sold > $8,000 ÷ $2 per unit = 4,000 units
Variable expense per unit = $120,000 ÷ 15,000 units = $8 per unit
($10 per unit - $8 per unit)× Quantity sold - $8,000 > $0
($10 per unit - $8 per unit)× Quantity sold > $8,000
$2 per unit × Quantity sold > $8,000
Quantity sold > $8,000 ÷ $2 per unit = 4,000 units
