Answer:

1. If the units are more than the 5,129 units, than the Victoria is better

2. If the units are less than the 5,129 units, than the Perth is better

Explanation:

In this question, we have to compute the break even units by taking the difference of fixed cost and the variable cost which is shown below:

Break even points = Change in fixed cost ÷ change in variable cost per unit

where,

Change in fixed cost = $1,000,000 - $800,000 = $200,000

Change in variable cost per unit = $112 - $73 = $39

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $200,000 ÷ $39 per unit

= 5,129 units

If the units are more than the 5,129 units, than the Victoria is better

If the units are less than the 5,129 units, than the Perth is better
