    A company manufactures and sells a single product. When sales per month are 6.8 million, total costs are 6.56 million. When sales per month are 5.2 million total costs are 5.44 million. There is a step cost increase of 400000 in fixed costs when sales are 6.0 million but variable unit costs are constant at all levels of output and sales.
    What is the breakeven point for sales revenue per month?
    How to separate the fixed costs and variable costs here. How to calculate the fixed costs variable costs and contribution per unit whilst there is no sales volume given.

    It is the normal high-low approach but instead of calculating the variable cost per unit we calculate it as a cost per $ of revenue.

    Surely you have a printed answer to this question?
