Explanation / Answer

Break even units =Fixed Cost/Contrbution

Fixed cost =5300+1100+1000+5230 =12630

Variable Cost =15+30=45

Contrbution =70-45=30

Break even units =12630/30 = 421 Rooms

2

Break even units in $ 421*75 =31575

3

Break even sales =Fixed cost /Contribution margin

400000*7=Fixed cost /20%

Fixed cost =560000

4

Contrbution = Fixed cost + Net income =350000+100000 =450000

Sales =100000*10 =1000000

Variable cost =1000000-450000 =$550000
