Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction

Contribution Margin :— It is the difference between sales and variable cost. 

 

Break Even Point (BEP) :— It is the point of production where total cost is equal to total revenue. At this point, total contribution margin is equal to total fixed cost. 

It is calculated by dividing total fixed cost by contribution margin per unit. 

 

BEP = Fixed Cost/Contribution Margin per unit
