*Calculation of total Contribution margin:
Total Contribution margin = Net income + Fixed cost
= $50,000 + $80,000
= $130,000
*Calculation of contribution margin per unit:
Contribution margin per unit = Total contribution margin / Number of units sold
= $130,000 / 20,000
= $6.50 per unit
*Calculation of break even in units:
Break even in units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
= $80,000 / $6.50
= 12,308 units
