Answer to Q(a)
Contribution margin per unit : Selling price - Variable cost per unit
= 20-3.90-1.40-2.10-1.60 ; 11.0 Per unit
Contribution Margin Ratio: Contribution margin/Sales *100 ; 11.0/20.0*100 ; 55%
Answer to Q(b)
Break Even Points : Fixed Cost/Contribution Margin unit
; 52,000+38,000/11 ; 8182 Units round off
ANswer to Q(C)
Unit to sell to earn a income of 20,000 ; Fixed Cost + Desired income / Contribution margin
= (52,000+38,000+20,000)/11 ; 10,000 Units
