MAHas anyone know the solution?
1. Contribution 20-12=8
Needed to make 22000
Is £10000+ £220000=£32000
£32000/8 = 4000 units.
2.£10000/8 = 1250 units
3.margin of safety
Amount of units sales can drop before break even reached is 4000-1250 units= 2750 units.
Alternatively, £22000/8=2750 units.
Hope this helps. Not hundred percent sure of these answers, hopefully someone can confirm.
