    Please do not set me test questions and expect to be provided with a full answer.
    You must have an answer in the same book in which. you found the question, so ask about. whatever it is you are not clear about and then I will explain.

    Since the contribution per unit is 25% of the selling price per unit, the variable costs must be 75% of the selling price.
    We know that the variable cost is 36, and so the contribution per unit must be 25/75 x 36 = $12.

    At breakeven, the contribution equals the fixed costs and so the answer should now be obvious.
