    I need help on this please. I don't even know how to calculate this.. thanks!
    Anheuser-Busch InBev Companies, Inc. reported the following operating information for a recent year (in millions):
    Net sales: $23, 507
    Cost of good sold: $10,336
    Selling,general and administration: $ 7,831
    $18,167
    Income from operations $ 5,340 (before special items)

    In additions, assume that Anheuser-Busch InBev sold 200 million barrels of beer during the year. Assume that variable costs were 75% of the cost of good sold and 40% of selling, general and administration expenses. Assume that the remaining cost are fixed. For the following year, asumme that Anheuser-Busch in Bev expect pricing, variable costs per barrel, and fixed costs to remain constant, expect that new distribution and general office facilities are expected to increase fixed costs by $ 225 million.
    a) Compute the break-even number of barrels for the current year. Note: for the selling price per barrel and variable costs per barrrel, round to the nearest cent. Also, round the break-even to the nearest barrel.
    b) Compute the anticipated break-even number of barrels for the following year.
