Explanation / Answer

a)

Variable costs per unit:

= $12.30+$6.40

= $18.70

b)

Total costs:

= 290,000×$18.70+$680,000

= $6,103,000

c)

Cash break-even point:

= Cash fixed costs÷Contribution per unit

= $680,000÷($45-$18.70)

= 25,855.51 units

Accounting break-even point:

= Total fixed costs÷Contribution per unit

= ($680,000+$480,000)÷($45-$18.70)

= 44,106.46 units
