Answer (C) is correct . The breakeven point in units equals total fixed costs divided by the unit contribution margin. The unit contribution margin is $20 ($36 selling price – $16 unit variable cost). Hence, the breakeven point is 22,500 units ($450,000 ÷ $20).
Answer (A) is incorrect because This figure excludes the $1.50 of variable selling expenses from the unit contribution margin. Answer (B) is incorrect because This figure excludes the $1.50 of variable selling expenses from the unit contribution margin and the depreciation from the fixed costs. Answer (D) is incorrect because This figure adds the $60,000 of depreciation to the fixed costs.
