Explanation:

Breakeven point is th level of sales where business have no profit no loss situation.

Contribution margin = Contribution margin / selling price = ( Selling Price - Variable cost ) / selling price = $27 - $17 = $10

Target Sales  = ( Target Income + Fixed cost ) / Contribution margin ratio =   ( $28,700 + $12,600 ) / $10 = 4,130 basckets

Selling Price

Selling price = Target Revenue / Number of Units sold = $111,622 / 4,010 = $27.84

Variable cost

Sales volume = ( Target income + Fixed cost) / Contribution margin

4,010 units =  ( $28,700 + $12,600 ) / ( $27 - variable cost )

4,010 units = 41300 / ( $27 - variable cost )

$27 - variable cost = $41,300 / 4,010 units

$27 - variable cost = $10.3 per unit

Variable cost = $27 - 10.3 = $16.7

Fixed Cost

Sales volume = ( Target income + Fixed cost) / Contribution margin  

4,010 units =  ( $28,700 + Fixed cost ) / $10

4,010 x $10 = ( $28,700 + Fixed cost )

%$40,100 = $28,700 + Fixed cost

Fixed cost = $40100 - $28,700 = $11,400
