Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = $1,833,333
Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = 73,334
Explanation:
Break even point is the level of activity where a Company neither makes a profit nor a loss.
<em>Break even point (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin Ratio</em>
Where, 
Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales
                                            = $ 200,000 / $ 1,000,000
                                            = 0.20
Therefore, 
Break even point (dollar sales) = $250,000 / 0.20
                                                    = $1,250,000
<u>Assuming the machine is installed</u>
Contribution Margin Ratio = ($ 1,000,000 - $400,000) / $ 1,000,000
                                            = $600,000 / $1,000,000
                                            = 0.60
Therefore, 
Break even point (dollar sales) = ($250,000 + $200,000) / 0.60
                                                    = $750,000
Sales to meet target profit of $200,000
Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost + Target Profit  / Contribution Margin Ratio
                                                                   = ($450,000 + $200,000) / 0.60
                                                                   = $1,833,333
Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = $1,833,333 / $25
                                                                = 73,334
