The answer is 51,500 units

Explanation:

Break-even sales is a point in which a business or a firm neither make profit nor loss. Total Revenue equals total cost. Break-even sales help to know the point at which business starts to make profit.

Break-even sales is:

Fixed cost/contribution margin.

Where contribution margin is sales price per unit minus variable cost per unit.

In the question, variable cost are decreased by $3.

So the new variable cost is $21 - $3

=$18.

Contribution margin is $24 -$18

$6

Therefore, The break-even sales (units) if the variable costs are decreased by $3 is:

$309,000/$6

=51,500 units
