Answer to Q1
Break even units = Fixed Cost/Contribution margin per unit
= $15,000+$5,000+$6,000/ $5-$1.0-$1.2
= 9286 Units (round off)
answer to Q2
Break even points in $ = Break even units * Selling price
= 9286*$5 ; $46,430
Answer to Question 3
Number of units produced to achieve target profit $10,000 = Fixed cost + Profit/Contribution margin per unit
= $15,000+$5,000+$6,000+$10,000/ $5-$1.0-$1.2
= 12,857 Units (Round off)
Answer to Q4
Sales Revenue to Achieve target profit of $10,000 = units calculated in part 3 * selling price
= 12,857*$5
= $64,285
