ANSWER:
Selling price per unit = total sales/total units sold
= $784860/20600 = $38.10 per unit
Variable cost per unit = total variable costs/total units sold
= $627888/20600 = $30.48
For Year 2018:
variable cost per unit by installing machine = $30.48/2 = $15.24
Therefore,
Contribution margin per unit = selling price per unit - variable cost per unit
= $38.10 - $15.24 = $22.86
Therefore,
Contribution margin ratio = contribution margin per unit/selling price per unit
= $22.86/$38.10
= 60%
Fixed cost = $212000 + $156000 = $368000
Therefore,
Break even point (dollar sales) = fixed cost/contribution margin ratio
= $368000/60%
= $613333.33
