Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

To start with, we need to get the value for total fixed cost and total variable cost

Total fixed costs = Depreciation + Advertising + Insurance

= $1,500 + $350 + $2,770

= $4,620

Total variable costs per unit = Weed and feed materials + Direct labor + Lawn Fuel

= $17 + $9 + $2

= $28 per lawn

We also need to compute the contribution margin ratio

= Sales per unit - Variable cost per unit / Sales per unit

= (70 - 28) / 70

= 0.6

= 60%

Therefore;

1. Break even sales
