Solution

1) Variable expense per unit = 36*70% = 25.20 per unit

2) Break even point in units = 210600/(36-25.20) = 19500 units

Break even point in dollars sales = 19500*36 = $702000

3) Units sales needed to attain target profit = (210600+102600)/10.8 = 29000 Units

Dollar sales needed to attain target profit = 29000*36 = $1044000

4) New break even point in units sales = 210600/14.40 = 14625 Units

New break even point in dollar sales = 14625*36 = $526500

Dollar sales needed to attaing target profit = (210600+102600)/14.40*36 = $783000
