Answer:

indifference point: 18.52 as it cannot sale half unit it is between 18 and 19 units.

Explanation:

We want to know at which level of sales both alternatives yield the same income:

the income function is: (sales price - variable cost ) Q - fixed cost

(500 - 50)x - 8,000 = (800-80)x - 13,000

13,000 - 8,000 = (720 - 450)X

5,000 = 270X

X = 5,000 / 270 = 18,5185 = 18.52

The indifference point will be between 18 and 19 units. as it cannot sale half units.
