Answer:
Break even point in dollar sales = $1,050,000
Explanation:
Break Even Point in dollar sales = Fixed Cost/ Contribution margin percentage
Contribution margin percentage = (Contribution margin/ Sales) X 100
Here we have for the year 2017
Contribution margin = $194,750
Sales = $779,000
Contribution margin percentage = ($194,750/$779,000) X 100 = 25%
Break even point in dollar sales = Fixed Cost $262,500/25%
= $1,050,000
