Variable cost estimates are correct: direct materials cost, $12.00 per unit; direct labor costs, $15.00 per unit; and variable overhead costs, $3.00 per unit. At this time, the selling price of $40 will not change. Complete the following formulas for the revised fixed costs. Enter the ratio as a percentage. Contribution Margin per Unit Contribution Margin Ratio % Now complete the formulas for (1) the break-even point in sales dollars and (2) the units sold at the break-even point.
