Explanation:  Standard fixed manufacturing cost is $49 and hence the total fixed manufacturing cost is $686,000 ($49  14,000 units). Fixed selling and administrative overhead is $44,000. Therefore, the total fixed expense is $730,000 ($686,000 + $44,000). The contribution per unit is $99 ($110 - $8 - $3). Therefore, the breakeven point in units is 7,374 units ($730,000 / $99).
