To calculate the breakeven point, you need to determine the contribution margin per unit. Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit Selling price per unit = €400 Variable cost per unit = Direct Labour + Direct Material + Variable Production Overhead Variable cost per unit = €60 + €120 + €60 = €240 Contribution margin per unit = €400 - €240 = €160 Now, divide the total fixed costs by the contribution margin per unit to find the breakeven point: Breakeven point (in units) = Total Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin per unit Total Fixed Costs = Fixed Production Costs + Fixed Selling and Distribution Costs Total Fixed Costs = €900,000 + €1,000,000 = €1,900,000 Breakeven point (in units) = €1,900,000 / €160 = 11875 mattresses So, the answer is option b. 11875 mattresses.

Your boss asks you to plan the sample size for a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial in the clinical development of a cure for irritable bowl disease. Current standard treatment shall be compared with a new treatment in this trial. The S3-guideline of AWM demonstrated a mean change of the summary score of the validated health related quality of life questionnaire at 8 weeks of 16 with standard deviation 23 under standard treatment. You quote the drop-out rate of 11% from literature (previous phase of clinical development). Your research yielded a clinically important effect of 4 that has been found to be the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID). In order to demonstrate superiority of the new treatment over standard of care, you assume that the change in of the summary score of the validated health related quality of life questionnaire follows a normal distribution, and that the standard deviation is the same for both treatments. How many patientes would one need to recruit for the trial to demonstrate the clinically interesting difference between treatments at significance level 5% with 95% power?
