    option (B) 25,000

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Fixed cost = $500,000 per year

    Cost of wood and labor to manufacture one bat = $5

    Selling price of the bat = $25

    Now,

    At breakeven, total cost equals to the total revenue

    let the breakeven quantity be 'x'

    thus,

    $500,000 + $5x = $25x

    or

    $25x - $5x = $500,000

    or

    $20x = $500,000

    or

    x = 25,000

    Hence,

    the correct answer is option (B) 25,000
