Currently, each of its five salespeople earns a 8% commission on the units they sell for $100 each, plus a fixed salary of $40,400 per person.

Currently, sales are 16,000 units. Glade's other fixed costs, not including the salespeople's salaries, total $590,000. Glade's other variable costs, not including commissions, total $11 per unit. Required: a. What is the current profit? b. What is the current break-even point in units? c. What would the break-even point in units be if commissions are increased and salaries decreased? d.
