Answer:

$6,014,384

Explanation:

Break even point is the level at which a firm makes neither profit nor a loss. This is the point where Profit = $0.

Break even units = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

therefore,

Break even units = $3,236,000 ÷ ($184 x $85)

= 32,687 units

thus,

Breakeven Sales = 32,687 units x $184 = $6,014,384
