    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Dallas Detroit

    Fixed costs $560,000 $840,000

    Variable costs $30 /radio $21 /radio

    Now,

    Let the Volume where both the options are equal be 'V'

    Therefore,

    V * (Variable cost of Dallas - Variable cost of Detroit) = (Fixed cost of Detroit - Fixed cost of Dallas)

    or

    V * ($30 - $21) = $840,000 - $560,000

    or

    V * $9 = $280,000

    or

    V = 31111.11 ≈ 31,111
