Answer:
a. 16%
b. $625,000
Explanation:
Contribution margin ration is the rate of contribution margin to the sales value of the given product.
Contribution margin = $280 per unit
Selling price = $140,000 / 800 = $1,750 per unit
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales = $280 / $1,750 = 0.16 = 16%
Break-even point is the level of sales at which the has no profit no loss situation. At this point the business has covered all the variable and fixed costs.
Break-even Point in revenue = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
Break-even Point in revenue = ( $125 x 800 ) / 16% = $100,000 / 16% = $625,000
