Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Total fixed costs is

= depreciation + advertising + insurance

= 1224 + 153 + 1683

= $3060 per month

Now

Total variable cost per unit

= weed + direct labor + fuel

= 10 + 8 + 2

= $20/ per lawn

Now

Contribution margin ratio = (sales per unit - variable cost per unit) ÷ sales per unit

= ($50 - $20) ÷ 50

= 60%

Now

Breakeven sales is

= fixed costs ÷ contribution margin ratio

= $3,060 ÷ 60%

= $5100

And,

Breakeven sales units is

= breakeven sales ÷ sales per unit

= 5100 ÷ 50

= 102 lawns
