Profit at the current price:
 11ea7761_163d_722f_81a5_df35c1d8e532_TB2580_00 Profit = (P - V) × Q - Fixed expenses
$320,000 = ($60.50 per unit - $34.00 per unit) × Q - $3,250,000
$3,570,000 = ($60.50 per unit - $34.00 per unit) × Q
$3,570,000 = ($26.50 per unit) × Q
Q = $3,570,000 ÷ $26.50 per unit = 134,717 units (rounded up)
