Explanation:

Break even point is the point where a firm makes neither a profit nor a loss.

Break even point (sales dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio

Where,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales

                                            = (Sales - Variable Costs) ÷ Sales

                                            = ($46.00 - $20.00 - $6.68) ÷ $46.00

                                            = 0.42

Therefore,

Break even point (sales dollars) = ($556,000  + $228,800) ÷ 0.42

                                                    = $ 1,868,571.429

                                                     = $1,868,571

Units to achieve a target profit = Fixed Costs + Target Profit ÷ Contribution per unit

Where,

Contribution per unit = Sales per unit - Variable Costs per unit

                                   = $46.00 - $20.00 - $6.68

                                   = $19.32

Therefore,

Units to achieve a target profit = ($556,000  + $228,800 + $620,000) ÷ $19.32

                                                   = 72,712.21532

                                                    = 72,713

After 10% increase in variable manufacturing costs.

Variable manufacturing costs = ($20.00 × 1,10)

                                                 = $22

Contribution Margin Ratio will be   = (Sales - Variable Costs) ÷ Sales

                                                          = ($46.00 - $22 - $6.68) ÷ $46.00

                                                          = 0.37652

                                                          = 0.38

Break even point (sales dollars) = ($556,000  + $228,800) ÷ 0.38

                                                     = $ 2,065,263.15

                                                     = $ 2,065,263
