Requirements
1. What is the number of hours that must be billed to reach the breakeven point?
2. If Davis desires to make a profit of $3,000, how many consulting hours must be completed?
3. Davis thinks it can reduce fixed cost to $3,990 per month, but variable cost will increase to $105 per hour. What is the new breakeven point in hours?
