Solution 1:

Contribution margin for northern division = Sales - Variable cost = $129,400 - $46,584 = $82,816

Contribution margin ratio = $82,816 / $129,400 = 64%

Total fixed expense for northern division = $98,100 + $25,880 = $123,980

Breakeven sales of northern division = Fixed expenses / contribution margin ratio

= $123,980 / 64%

= $193,719
