Respuesta :

Answer:

a. 1,500

Explanation:

The formula to compute the break even point for earning target profit is shown below:

= (Fixed cost + target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)  

where,  

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit  

So,  the break even point would be

= ($100,000 + $20,000) ÷ ($100 - $20)

= $120,000 ÷ $80

= 1,500 rooms
