units

units
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable
cost per unit
Contribution margin per unit = $76 - $51
Contribution margin per unit = $25
Answer a.
Breakeven sales (units) = Fixed costs / Contribution margin per
unit
Breakeven sales (units) = $540,000 / $25
Breakeven sales (units) = 21,600
Answer b.
Required sales (units) = (Fixed costs + Target operating income)
/ Contribution margin per unit
Required sales (units) = ($540,000 + $125,000) / $25
Required sales (units) = $665,000 / $25
Required sales (units) = 26,600
