Answer:

16 more scarves

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Parker sells homemade knit scarves for $14 each at local craft shows. Her contribution margin ratio is 62.5%.

Contribution margin ratio= (Selling price - unitary variable costs)/ selling price

0.625= (14 - CVu)/14

5.25=CVu

To calculate the extra scarves we need to use the following formula:

break-even point (in units)= fixed costs/contribution margin

break-even point (in units)= (700*0.20)/(14-5.25)= 16 more scarves
