Answer:
$7,222
Explanation:
Given that,
Selling price per dozen = $18
Variable costs = $5 per dozen
Total fixed costs = $ 5,200
Contribution margin per dozen:
= Selling price per dozen - Variable costs per dozen
= $18 - $5
= $13
Contribution margin ratio:
= (Contribution margin ÷ Selling price per dozen) × 100
= ($13 ÷ $18) × 100
= 0.72 × 100
= 72%
Break-even sales in dollars:
= Total fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin ratio
= $5,200 ÷ 0.72
= $7,222
