b. 4,577.
c. 7,095.
d. 6,050.

Answer 1

Answer: 12900

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, we'll first calculate the contribution per unit which will be:

= Selling price per unit - variable cost per unit

= $186 - $120

= $ 66

Then, the break even sales in units will be: = Fixed cost/Contribution per unit

= 851,400 / 66

= 12,900

Therefore, the breakeven is 12900

Answer 2

Break-even point in units= 12,900

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total fixed cost (per period) $ 851,400

Variable cost per unit $ 120.00

Sales price per unit $ 186.00

To calculate the break-even point, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 851,400 / (186 - 120)

Break-even point in units= 12,900
