2000 units, eh? I hope the company has a big warehouse to store all those products. Maybe they should consider selling in bulk - that would really shake things up!

That's a good point! Selling in bulk could definitely help with storage space.

2000 units? That's nothing! I bet I could break even on a lemonade stand with that kind of volume.

2000 units, huh? I wonder if the exam will throw in a curveball and ask for the breakeven point in dollars instead. Either way, I'm feeling confident about this one.

I'm not sure, I think we need to consider the fixed costs as well to calculate the breakeven point accurately.

I agree with Bulah, because product Y has a lower contribution per unit compared to product X.

2000 units? Piece of cake! Although, I hope the exam doesn't ask me to calculate the breakeven point for product X - that would be a real headache.

Ah, I see. The fixed costs and the relative contribution per unit of each product are the key factors here. Makes sense to me!

This seems straightforward. The breakeven point for product Y should be 2000 units, given the contribution per unit and the sales mix.
