Answer #1
Break even point in units = Fixed costs/(Selling price per unit - variable costs per unit)
=(58140)/(3.40-2.55) = 68,400 units
Margin of Safety in units = Sales units - break even units
=81600-68400
=13,200 units
Income Statement
Sales        277,440
Less: Variable Expenses        208,080
Contribution Margin           69,360
Less: Fixed Expenses           58,140
Operating Income           11,220
Units = (Desired Profit + Fixed costs)/Contribution Margin per unit
=(25500+58140)/0.85
=98,400 units
4.Sales Dollars required = Fixed costs/(1-Variable cost% - Desired Profit %)
=58140/(1-75%-10%)
=$387,600
