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.
