a) The amount earned by Kurt by selling the break-even units of painting at $38 each is $1,064.
b) The number of paintings that Kurt will be selling at the break-even point is 28.
The Break-even point is the sales units at which the seller's total revenue equals the total costs.
At the break-even point, there is no profit or loss.
Fixed costs = $112
Variable cost = $34
Selling price = $38
Contribution margin = $4 ($38 - $34)
Contribution margin ratio = 10.53% ($4/$38 x 100)
Break-even point (units) = Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit
= 28 units ($112/$4)
Break-even point (dollars) = $1,064 ($38 x 28)
