Willie Keith · Answer 1

The book publisher needs 380,000 in margins on its books to cover its fixed costs.

The publisher makes a profit of 27-11 = 16 dollars per book. This is the book’s contributing margin.

To break even, the profits on the books must equal the fixed costs.

380,000 / 16 = 23,750

The firm must sell 23,750 books to break even.
