    Hi Sir,

    I was trying to workout the below question but I did not understand how they have arrived in contribution per unit to find out the Breakeven point.

    Question : A company has a fixed cost of $1.3 million, variable costs are 55% of sales up to a sales level of $1.5 million, but a higher volumes of production and sales, the variable cost for incremental production units falls to 52% of sales.

    What is the breakeven point in sales revenue, to the nearest 1000?

    If the variable costs are 55% os the sales then the contribution must be 100 – 55 = 45% of the sales (so this is the CS ratio. It will be 45% up to a sales level of 1.5M and will then change to 48%.
