Im facing a huge problem can anyone help me pls

Can ull give me the answer of B where the break even point shud be calculated in dollars
My answer is correct for household but not for Buisiness and factory

this is for business
break even point = fixed costs/ contribution per unit
contribution per unit=selling price-variable costs
selling price = 108000/900 =120
vc per unit = (45000+28800+13500)/900=97
therefore breakeven = 27000/(120-97)
=1174 units

1174 * 120 (selling price) = $140880 breakeven in value

do the same for factory!

Can any1 help me with question 2 and 19? i dnt knw hw to get the answer for them. Here is da link :
http://maxpapers.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/9708_w13_qp_3.pdf

Da answer is B for 2 and B for 19 :)

hey i can explain the 19th one but i'm not quite sure if my working is right okay :p
so yeah :-

a $100 increase in national income is distrubuted in the following way = $10 in taxes $25 in imports and $15 is saved. since there is a shortage of $50 we take that as government spending.
therefore :- 100=10+25+15+50

now in the above equation substitute the 100 with 50000 and multiply the rest of the components by 500 too. Your government spending value would then be (50*500) which is equal to 25000

sorry if the explanation is too confusing. this is the easiest i could do :3 and i have an explanation for the second one also. i could explain if u can understand this
