- Georgetown Pizza makes its favorite pan pizzas every day with three working shifts around the clock. The current completely cooked pizza-making process has a fixed cost of $24,000, and a variable cost of $2.75 per pizza. The owner is considering a different process that can make pizzas in two ways: completely cooked and selling at $13.98 per unit, or partially cooked with a selling price of $12.98 per unit. This alternate process has a fixed cost of $28,000, but a lower variable cost (because much less energy is used in baking) of $2.25 per pizza. a. Determine the breakeven quantity between the current pizza-making process and the alternate process.A company that employs more than 3000 people.
