Contribution=SaleVariable cost=$50$22=$28P/VRatio=Contributionsales×100=2850×100=56%Contribution = Sale - Variable \space cost\\ = \$ 50 - \$22\\ = \$ 28\\ P/V Ratio = \frac{Contribution}{sales }\times 100\\ = \frac{28 }{ 50} \times 100\\ = 56\%

A) Number of table to be sold for breakeven = Fixed cost ÷\div Contribution

=1300028=464.29=464 tables (Approx)= \frac{13000 }{ 28}\\ = 464.29\\ = 464 \space tables\space ( Approx)

B) Total sales they need to break-even = Fixed cost ÷\div PV Ratio

=1300056%=$23214.29=$23214 (Approx)= \frac{13000 }{ 56\%} = \$ 23214.29\\ = \$ 23214 \space (Approx)
