How is having someone do your work for you going to help you to learn?

Not having someone do my work for me? its not an assignment. Its a mock exam that I have but no answers! I need someone to answer so I can compare my numbers. If you can help I can post what I have answered so far.

Good that it is a mock exam as that will not affect your grade. So best to try this on your own and then compare to the solution the prof will give.

Sorry pal, but that's just too much to ask in a forum like this.

I mean really, nex2022, there MUST be something better to do with your time than solving random break-even problems! Or are you stranded on some desert island and an old accounting book washed ashore?
