Answer 1

Answer:

Break-even point (dollars)=  $219,656

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Division N

Sales= $223,000

Variable expenses= 86,970

Contribution margin= 136,030

Traceable fixed expenses= 105,000

Segment margin= 31,030

Common fixed expenses= 28,990

To calculate the break-even point in dollars for Division N, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

contribution margin ratio= (sales - variable costs) / sales

Break-even point (dollars)= (105,000 + 28,990) / (136,030/223,000)

Break-even point (dollars)=  $219,656
