Answer 1

$202,409

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we will need to calculate Break even in sales dollar for division Q using the formula;

= Division Q fixed cost / contribution margin ratio

Division Q fixed cost = $89,060

But,

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales

Contribution margin ratio = $161,920 / $368,000

Contribution margin ratio = 44%

Therefore, the Break even in sales dollar for Division Q

= $89,060 / 44%

= $202,409

The Break even in sales dollars for Division Q is closest to $202,409
