To determine

Concept Introduction:

Contribution margin: Contribution margin is the difference between sales price and variable costs. It is calculated with the help of following formula:

$ContributionMargin=Salesprice–Variablecosts$

Breakeven point: The Breakeven point is level of sales at which the net profit is zero. In other words, the breakeven point is the amount of sales at which there no loss and no profit. The formulas to calculate breakeven point are as follows:

$Breakevenpoint\left(Units\right)=\frac{TotalFixedcosts}{Contributionmarginperunit}$

$Breakevenpoint\left(Dollar\right)=\frac{TotalFixedcosts}{Contributionmarginratio}$
