Answer:

d) 2,500.

Explanation:

Break-even can be defined in many ways. Below given are some of the definitions:

- A point at which there is neither Profit nor Loss.

- Sales = Total Costs.

- Contribution Margin = Fixed Costs

The formula used to calculate the Break-even sales in Quantity is:

                      x = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin Per Unit

where

x = Break-even Quantity

Contribution Margin Per Unit = Selling Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit

In this case, the contribution margin per unit is 200 - 80 = $120.

Put the values in the formula and you will get:

x = 300,000 / 120 = 2,500.

Thanks!
