    A company manufactures and sells a single product with a variable cost per unit of $36. It has a contribution ratio of 25%. The company has weekly fixed costs of $18,000.

    What is the weekly breakeven point, in units?

    A. 1,500
    B. 1,600
    C. 1,800
    D. 2,000

    My problem is: I cannot understand how to come for the denominator of 0.75.

    Contribution is selling price less variable costs.

    If the contribution is 25% of the selling price, then the variable costs must be 75% of the selling price.
