Answer 1

Answer:

Break-even point (dollars)= $202,263.16

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Division Q:

Sales= $365,000

Total variable costs= 226,300

Fixed costs= 76,860

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

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

Break-even point (dollars)= 76,860 / [(365,000 - 226,300) / 365,000]

Break-even point (dollars)= 76,860 / 0.38

Break-even point (dollars)= $202,263.16
