units to break-even Sales − Variable cost − Fixed cost = Profit (Sales price x N) − (Variable cost per unit x N) = Fixed cost + Profit (Contribution margin per unit x N) = Fixed cost + Profit N = (Fixed cost + Profit) ÷ Contribution margin per unit N = ($750,000 + $200,000) ÷ ($57 − $32) = 30,000 units Break-even dollars = $57 x 30,000 units = $1,710,000 b. N = ($750,000 + 21,000) ÷ ($57 − $32) = 38,000 units Sales in $ = $57 x 38,000 = $2,166,000 Exercise 3-2B N = Number of units to break-even N = Fixed
