For breakeven, the contribution must equal the fixed overheads and must therefore be $20,000. They budget on selling 500 units per year, and therefore for breakeven the contribution must be $20,000 / 500 = $40 per unit. The marginal cost is $20 per unit and therefore the mark-up on marginal cost must be 40/20 = 200% Have you watched my free lectures on CVP analysis?
