CleanTech manufactures equipment to mitigate the environmental effects of waste. 2-6 A (a) If Product A has fixed expenses of $15,000 per year and each unit of product has a $0.20 vari- able cost, and Product B has fixed expenses of $5000 per year and a $0.50 variable cost, at what number of units of annual production will A have the same overall cost as B? (b) As a manager at CleanTech what other data would you need to evaluate these two products?
