Respuesta :

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Contribution per unit :

= Selling Price per unit – Variable costs per unit

= $35 - $21

= $14 per unit

Contribution margin ratio :

= Contribution ÷ Sales

= $14 ÷ $35

= 0.40 or 40%

So, Break even point in Sales dollars :

= Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= $78,000 ÷ 40%

= $ 195,000
