    Break-even volume in dollars would increase by what %?
    The following information is available:

    Total fixed costs 333,500
    Variable costs per unit 99
    Selling price per unit 154

    If total fixed costs increased to $394,850, then the break-even volume in dollars would increase by what percent?

    I came up with about 15.6% no matter how I calculated it, but it's not one of the choices he lists. It's multiple choice. A. 18.4% B. 34.3% C. 12.3% or D. 10%

    Yep, it is indeed one of those four choices. Show me in detail how you arrived at the 15.6%, and let's see where it's coming off the tracks.
