Expert Solution

b) Computation of Break even point in dollars

Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio

Contribution margin ratio =

( Total revenue- variable cost)÷ Total revenue

CM ratio =( $36000 - $ 12000)÷$36000

= 2÷3 or 66.67%

  Therefore , break even point = $6000÷ 66.666%

$9000

c) Computation of units sold to earn a target profit of $26000

Number of units to be sold

=( Target profit + Fixed expenses)÷unit    contribution margin

= ($26000 + $ 6000) ÷40

800 units

( contribution per unit = $ 24000÷ 600=40 units )

Contribution income statement

Sales (800units × $60) $48000
Less: variable cost (800units ×$20) $16000
Contribution $32000
Less: Fixed cost $6000
Net income $26000

Working note: variable cost per unit =$12000÷600units =$20
