Answer 1

$224,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost

= $320 - $76.8

= $243.2

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales

= $243.2 / $320

= $0.76 × 100

= 76%

Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio

= $170,240 / 76%

= $224,000
