BEP units         205,882 pounds

BEP dollars     $102,941.17

Explanation:

0.50 - 0.33 = 0.17 contribution per pound

This means each pound generates 0.17 of contribution.

Now, we can calculate the pounds needed to afford the fixed cost.

35,000/0.17 = 205,882.35 pounds

for the BEP we will multiply by the sales price:

205,882.35 pounds x $0.5 = $102,941.17
