    Fixed costs: $251,000

    Unit selling price: $22

    Unit variable costs: $21

    Decrease in variable costs: $5

    Break-even = fixed costs/contribution margin

    Contribution margin = selling price - unit variable cost

    Break-even = $251,000 / ($22-$21)

    Break-even = $251,000

    New break-even = fixed costs/[ (selling price) - (variable cost-decrease in variable cost) ]

    New break-even = $251,000/[ ($22) - ($21-$5) ]

    New break-even = $251,000/$22-$16)

    New break-even = $251,000/$6

    New break-even = $43,833 units
