Multiple Choice
$90,462
$211,192
$108,615
$357,538
Answer: $90,462
Explanation
Calculation of Wholesale Division’s break-even sales:
Break-even sales = Fixed expense / Contribution margin ratio
Fixed expense = Traceable fixed expenses = $58,800
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable expenses
= $186,500 - 65,275
= $ 121,225
Hence, Contribution margin ratio = $ 121,225 / $186,500 = 65%
Therefore, Break-even sales = $58,800 / 65%
= $90,462
