Break-even is derived fixed costs divided by contribution per unit

Fixed cost is $390,456

Contribution per unit =selling price per unit -variable cost per unit

selling price is $230 per unit

variable cost per unit is $78.20

Contribution per unit=$230-$78.20

Contribution per unit =$151.8 0

The break-even in monthly dollar sales=2572.17*$230
