Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:</u>

Unitary variable cost= (1 - Contribution margin ratio)*selling price

Unitary variable cost= 0.70*54

Unitary variable cost= $37.8

<u>Now, the break-even point in units and dollar</u>s:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 388,800 / (54 - 37.8)

Break-even point in units= 24,000

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

Break-even point (dollars)= 388,800 / 0.3

Break-even point (dollars)= $1,296,000

<u>If the desired profit is $226,800; the following formula is required:</u>

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (338,800 + 226,800) / 16.2

Break-even point in units= 34,914

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

Break-even point (dollars)= 565,600 / 0.3

Break-even point (dollars)= $1,885,333

<u>Finally, if the variable cost per unit decreases by $5.4:</u>

Unitary variable cost= $32.4

Break-even point in units= 388,800 / (54 - 32.4)

Break-even point in units= 18,000

Contribution margin ratio= unitary CM / Selling price

Contribution margin ratio= 21.6/54= 0.4

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

Break-even point (dollars)= 388,800 / 0.4

Break-even point (dollars)= 972,000

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

Break-even point (dollars)=  (388,800 + 226,800) / 0.4

Break-even point (dollars)= $1,539,000
