Respuesta :

1. Contribution Margin (in unit sales) = $18

Contribution Margin (in dollar sales) : $ 270,000 (given)

Fixed Cost = $216,000

Break even point (in unit sales) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution margin per unit

= $216,000 ÷ 18

= 12000

Break even point (in dollar sales) = Sales price per unit × Break even (in unit)

= $30 × 12000

= $360,000

2. Contribution Margin at the break even point is the total fixed cost ($216,000)
