Contribution Margin per room night = Selling price per room night – Variable cost per room night
= $80 - $20
= $60
Contribution Margin ratio = (Contribution Margin per room night / Selling price per room night) x 100
= ($60 / $80) x 100
= 75%
Break Even Point (In dollars) =Fixed cost / Contribution Margin per room night
= $17,000 / 75%
= $22,666.6666666….
= $22,666.67 (rounded to 2 decimal places)
