Answer:

The Dollar sales break even for the company is $568750, for the north region is $320000 and for the south region is $80000.

Explanation:

1. for the company:

cont margin ration = contribution/sale

                               = 240000/750000

                               = 0.32

fixed cost = 182000

dollar sales break even = fixed cost/cont margin ratio

                                       = 182000/0.32

                                       = $568750

2.  for the north region:

cont margin ration = contribution/sale

                               = 120000/600000

                               = 0.20

fixed cost = 64000

dollar sales break even = fixed cost/cont margin ratio

                                       = 64000/0.20

                                       = $320000

3. for the south region:

cont margin ration = contribution/sale

                               = 120000/150000

                               = 0.80

fixed cost = 64000

dollar sales break even = fixed cost/cont margin ratio

                                       = 64000/0.80

                                       = $80000

Therefore, The Dollar sales break even for the company is $568750, for the north region is $320000 and for the south region is $80000.
