Answer #1

Calculation of Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales 

                                                               = 86,394 / 2,54,100

                                                               = 34%


Contributin margin = total revenue - total variable cost

                              =  2,54,100 - 1,67,706

                              =  86,394


Breakeven sales = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin %

                           =  1,18,500 / 34%

                           =  $3,48,529


Required sales = Breakeven point sales - Total revenue

                         = $3,48,529 - 2,54,100

                         = $94,429
