Alice Rubilyn Manufacturing can produce a certain product that sells for ₱64 per unit. The variable cost per unit is ₱36, and the fixed cost per week is ₱5,600.
a. How many units must they sell per week to break even?

To calculate the break-even point, we use the following formula:

\[
\text{Break-even point (in units)} = \frac{\text{Fixed Costs}}{\text{Selling Price per unit} - \text{Variable Cost per unit}}
\]

### Given:
- Selling Price per unit = ₱64
- Variable Cost per unit = ₱36
- Fixed Costs = ₱5,600

Substitute the values into the formula:

\[
\text{Break-even point (in units)} = \frac{5,600}{64 - 36} = \frac{5,600}{28} = 200 \text{ units}
\]

Thus, Alice Rubilyn Manufacturing must sell **200 units per week** to break even.
