$14.50
Unit variable cost
$7.50
Fixed costs
$186,000
12,828

Break-even point in units = Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit
186,000/($14.50 - $7.50) = 26,571 units

Use the following information to determine the contribution margin ratio:
Unit sales
50,000 Units
Unit selling price
$14.50
Unit variable cost
$7.50
Fixed costs
$204,000
6.9%.
48.3%.
24.5%.

34.1%.
Contribution margin ratio = ($14.50 - $7.50)/$14.50 = 48.3%

A company's product sells at $12 per unit and has a $5 per unit variable cost. The company's total fixed costs are $98,000. The break-even point in units is:
5,158.
7,000.
8,167.
14,000.
19,600.
$98,000/($12-$5) = 14,000 units
