(Round answer to o decimal places, e.g.1,225.) Break-even points

Explanation / Answer

Total variable cost per lawn=Weed and feed materials+Direct labor+Fuel

=(15+12+2)=$29 per lawn

Total fixed costs=Depreciation+Advertising+Insurance

=(1400+2270+2000)=$5670

Contribution margin=Sales revenue-Variable cost

=(83-29)=$54

Hence 1.Breakeven point=Fixed cost/Contribution margin

=(5670/54)=105 lawns

2.Breakeven value=(105*83)=$8715
