You can make a plan on the question paper

I hope your allowed to do that, i've done that before and my teacher gave off to me saying I didn't have time. I actually finished the test like 30 minutes early.

For break-even I got 110400 units, just divided Total Costs by the unit selling price.
Fairly easy paper apart from the stratified sample question, awful case study though - gluten free products really? terrible.

As i did Fixed cost/contribution per unit

to get the break-even output!

For the last question there was loads of stuff to talk about;
Option A:
- Established brand with experience, more potential customers.
- Low risk.
- Guaranteed £300k sales each year and £24k profit.
- 2 year contract for security.
Option B:
- More potential profit - £35k in Year 1 and £44k in Year 2.
- Higher risk.
- More motivation as he can choose his own products.
- Listening to primary market research i.e. delivering products to home not selling in stores.
- 6 month contracts with customers improving customer loyalty.
